There are two types of arthritis - one type hurts no matter what you are doing, and the other type is caused by exercise - this type is caused osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is caused by friction in the joint and it comes and goes along with the level of physical activity. You can usually stop osteoarthritis by routine stretching and strengthening the leg muscles, particularly your thighs, but you have stick with the exercises long enough to get the muscles built up.
Usually people with arthritis can feel the rubbing of bone on bone. In arthritis the cartilage wears away while for you it could be possible that you have a problem with your muscle. If you haven't already I suggest going to your doctor. He might have a better opinion.
