Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent form of arthritis and it most commonly occurs in the spine, hands, hips, and knees; however, it can affect any joint in the body when the cartilage wears down.

Where does osteoarthritis affect you? Is it limited to one part of your body or is it several?

Please let us know, share your experiences, and connect with others who are dealing with the same condition.

I have OA in the cervical spine and afraid I may need surgery in the long term and it is kind of scary.

My wife has it in her knees for now. She started having a bit of back pain before the virus hit, so we've been working on stretching and yoga for it in the hopes that it's just a temporary thing and not the OA spreading.

Hi everyone,

How are you today? emoticon cute

Have you seen this discussion? Which part of your body or joint is affected by your osteoarthritis? Are multiple areas of your body impacted?

I have the condition on my hands that fingers are curved and my thumbs have dropped already. I had pain therapy for both hands and back. I have a right knee replacement for over ten years. I had 2 back surgeries. One was in Tampa, FL which at that point I had stenosis and sciatica and for years I was doing great playing tennis, walking and quite active. The second surgery was in New Haven, CT the Orthopedics group. My L4 L5 was bone to bone. I was transfer to a therapy facility which there I caught a horrible infection in my surgery. I was again hospitalized. Honestly, that was worse than the actually surgery. I wish I had sue then, but the time has passed to do that. I was in pain and on constant morphine. Today, I have a rod in my back with connections to my hips. So I'm the bionic woman titanium which gets inspected any time I travel although I had cards about my surgeries, it wasn't enough so I threw them out. now I'm suffer from Fibromyalgia which is truly the most painful out of all the illnesses I have. I've also caught bacterial meningitis at some resort I went to celebrated a family reunion. I also caught sarcoidosis, now I'm in remission and hopefully I will not get anything else! I might be a cat with nine lives!! I'm 72 and have my good days and my bad ones, but I trust in my Lord and still consider myself very blessed!
