The necessity of bodily pain

As far as physical pain goes, I have experienced very little in my life. I have never had any surgery, a broken bone or spent a night in a hospital. So it truly shocked me recently after I had been suffering severe knee pain for several weeks for no apparent reason, to learn that x-rays show that my left knee has been damaged by osteoarthritis. I thought there would be a gradual onset of something like this, with warnings leading up to it. Neither of my parents had arthritis. I never expected arthritis to make an appearance until much later in life, if at all.
