What are the chances of my knee's deteriorating like my spine is?
My knee's have been stuffed for year's but the dr refuses to do an MRI since there's no fix for my problem apparently.
Since if it's arthritis, there's no cure.
Possible arthritis?

Have you tried physio or Osteo?
Osteoarthritis is very common and tends to affect multiple joints but it is also normal and not necessarily responsible for causing the pain.
The Dr is right if they don’t suspect a soft tissue injury there is no reason to have an MRI of the knee..
You can also be proactive and work on all these things so they do not affect your daily life..
You need a new dr. What if it’s not arthritis?! Get a new dr and demand at least a CT ang push for an MRI. That just isn’t good enough. You need definite answers, so you can start symptom management or disease management if it’s not arthritis.
Also, not to scare you, but many conditions go unnoticed until too late due to assumptions with no definite proof
