Other Answers:
What do I look like ? A doctor ? But seriously make an appointment with your Primary care physician and tell the doctor your concern about arthritis.

See your MD, get an x-ray. X-rays will show the mass associated with osteoarthritis.

The doctor makes the diagnosis of osteoarthritis based on the characteristic symptoms, physical examination, and the x-ray appearance of joints.
