Well it doesn't actually come on suddenly, but you suddenly notice it one fine day when its gotten bad enough to cause pain. There are diff kinds of arthritis. I am takeing it for granted you are asking about Osteoarthritis (the most common one)
I have it in my knees, pelvic bone, lumbar and Dorsal spine. There is no visible redness, inflamation nor swelling.
An X-ray will easily tell the tale if its osteoarthritis.
