does osteoarthritis lead to degenitive bone disease ,

greenspun.com : LUSENET : About Joints : One Thread

I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in 1992. It started in my jaw. In the past few years my shoulder and back have become very painful and I have a hard time walking on concrete floors. I was diagnosed with RA and Lupus in 2003. My brother was diagnosed with degenetive bone disease. Are these conditions related or contribute to each other?
