Question: What might be the probability in the 60s or 70s of someone developing rheumatoid arthritis or lung ankolysing spondylitis if their mother and sister had it (with osteoarthritis?

And how common is it for a person to around the age of 50 to begin developing (painless) crooked finger joints from OA along with basal osteoarthritis?

Thank you. In my wife's case, her mother passed away at 77 years old as a result of the ankylosing spondylitis in her lungs which she developed four or five years ealier and required portable oxygen. She also had osteoarthritis in her hands and feet and spine.
Her eldest daughter also has osteoarthritis as well as a diagnosis of Sjorgens Syndrome (tears and saliva).
My wife is the youngest daughter and before turning fifty she started to develop osteoarthritis in several fingers, although it might be exacerbated because she was a hair stylist working with her hands alot. In her lower vertebrae she has some stenosis, osteoarthritis and some ankylosing spondylitis. She is negative for the blood tests for rheumatoid arthritis.
So does this all mean that in 10 or 20 years my wife is more than likely to develop the spondylitis in her lungs which was fatal to her mother and aunt?
And what is the correlation between osteoarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, and does it always go to the lungs?
I am a bit unclear of the terminology. Perhaps the lung disease is called pulmonary fibrosis rather than ankylosing sponyliitis. Is there a diffeence?? Thanks.

Thank you again. Yes, her mother and aunt did have the osteoarthritis and pulmonary fibrosis, and I was thinking that the two are not a coincidence, or at least that certain types of people have a predisposition to these diseases.
And my wife's older sister has osteoarthritis and Sjorgen's Syndrome. She is 76. But apparently neither she nor the other sisters has pulmonary fibrosis, so maybe it skips a generation genetically.

Yes ironically both my wife's aunt and her mother were light to moderate smokers. And both had osteoarthritis and pulmonary fibrosis.
It almost seems as if the disease correlates with a smoker who has osteoarthritis.
I was overly concerned because my wife shows some ankylosing spondylitis in her lower spine and her sister with osteoarthritis developed Sjorgens Syndrome.

My wife is asymptomatic. I guess there's no use checking for nothng.
The chiropractor found some ankylosing spondylitis between two vertebrae. It was two years ago so I don't recall exactly. She is not usually symptomatic but the Xrays found a bit of a mess in those two vertebrae. Some stenosis, arthritis a slightly bulging disk, and spondylitis.
How does one explain the coincidence two sisters (my wife's aunt and mother) both suffering from osteoarthritis and pulmonary fibrosis? So far no one else in the family has this combination. In fact my wife tells me that only she and two of her three older sisters inherited osteoarthritis. So far no cousins in the same age range have it or Sjogrens, etc.
Is Lyrica prescribed for fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis as an alternative to Tramadol? My wife was prescribed with Ultram, 50 mg., 1-2 tablets X3 per day and felt two was pretty strong. Thank you.
