SylviaC,

Wow. You are dealing with a lot. I'm so sorry about your car accident and the resulting pain and arthritis.

Here are some links that might help you learn more about traumatic arthritis and whether it could be what happened to you:

From the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons:

From Sinai Hospital:

From eorthopod.com:

From zimmer.com, which has a good diagram and explanation of traumatic arthritis:

If you search for "traumatic arthritis" on google, you will get even more pages about this, which I know you've found in your research. Are your doctors disagreeing with you that it could be traumatic arthritis?
