I've been studying Ninjitsu for 6 years, which incorporates many aspects of Aikido. I know all about the wrist twists. I've never experienced any extended problems, and many of the people I train with have been at it for 15-20 years, and they seem to be doing fine, sans the occasional injury.

I think you'll probably be fine. Besides, most arthritis/ bone wear/ type issues have proven to be preventable/ reversible as long as you're following a diet that doesn't eat away at the calcium in your bones. No dairy, meat, and eggs, and you're fine.
