No, not everyone gets it, though wear and tear is common. Just like we manage blood sugar to avoid complications, keeping your weight in check and eating anti-inflammatory foods can save your joints from severe damage. Keep your doctor updated.
While osteoarthritis is very common as we age, it is definitely not inevitable for everyone. Staying active, maintaining a healthy weight, and keeping your muscles strong can protect your joints significantly.

My mom is 60 and has zero joint pain, while some of my younger colleagues complain constantly. It really comes down to genetics, posture, and keeping yourself active. Don't worry, it's not a rule for everyone!
