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.

I only know from my own experience that I have Osteoarthritis in my hands and fingers. Been having that aching feeling in my feet recently too but haven't had it checked as yet by the GP. . I have had a full knee replacement due to it being so bad in my knee. Maybe worth having it checked out.

Thank you. What can they do? I only got my knees diagnosed last year after knowing something was wrong for about 10

I suppose just to confirm it is actually Osteoarthritis and not something else. As you say..what can they actually do? I dread the thought of injections!

Yes true. I don’t like the idea either!
