Pain

I have severe Osteoarthritis in both knees. My fingers and toes also feel transit pain from time to time...does anyone else have osteoarthritis in multiple areas besides knees? Also is osteoarthritis always caused by being overweight. I know it can make it worse? Tired of the pain....

Osteoarthritis develops in joints that move in repetitive ways. The movement breaks down the cartilage in between the bones, and calcium bumps develop. Bones start to fuse together.

Being over weight is never good for joints or any other aspect of our health, but it isn't the sole cause of any arthritis.

Thanks all. I agree Joan that constant pain wears you down and unless you have had to experience this you have no idea what it is like. The doctor had me stop taking advil because of damage to my kidneys. It's a catch 22 ...it is good for you to exercise walk etc...but you are in so much pain that is difficult to do ...
