What is this pain in fingers and toes?

I’ve got early onset osteoarthritis in my knees. I constantly seem to have pain somewhere anyway but noticed after I spent a good few days last weekend stripping wallpaper pain in my fingers and now it’s in my toes as well. Could this be that? Does it spread like that as I thought it was down to wear and tear in your knees caused by injury.

Osteoarthritis can affect any joint so it could be that.

What can I do? Is it a case of just living with it?

I would assume it’s inflammation from overuse, which probably isn’t helped by the osteoarthritis. You were probably bracing yourself with your feet in a funny way while working.
