I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis a year ago which particularly affects my hands, wrists and feet. I feel as though I've walked a marathon after a 10 minute walk. Over the last few days the back of my right heel gives a sharp pain when I walk downstairs and a lesser one when I walk. Should I be gently exercising it as I've been advised to for my arthritis, or is it an injury which I should rest? I don't remember hurting It? moreResolved Question: Osteoarthritis - Exercises for hands and feet?
I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis a year ago. I was referred to a Physiotherapist who gave me exercises for my back and knees which work really well. However, I now have constant pain in my hands (particularly the base of my thumbs) and feet (mainly the backs of my heels and the balls of my feet). I already take Diclofenac daily and Cocodamol on most days. Does anyone know any excercises which would help?What is a Nerf ball and where would I get one? moreResolved Question: Gout- in big toe and hands @ 26?
I had an x ray after months of a pinful big toe joint- and it showed early signs of osteoarthritis. I am a 26 year old female and really worried. Over the last couple of years, I have had painful wrists from time to time and ignored it. Recently, my fingers have been swollen and painful (especially base of my thumb.) I am waiting to see the GP for a referral. I am wondering if this could be gout? My toe is not VERY painful, but I do not feel confident to do any exercise with it. The duvet at night can pull on it and hurt a bit. I understood gout to be extremely painful (my toe was VERY p[ainful a few months ago) and for it only to affect one joint at a time. Also, I have read that gout does not show as osteoarthritis on an x ray. Has anyone got an opinion on this please, as some aspects of what I have read a about gout sound familiar. moreResolved Question: Osteoarthritis in foot @ 26. Any advice please?
I have today had the result of a foot x ray which is showing osteoarthritis. I have had pain in my big toe and foot for a couple of months and have been limping a lot, and unable to do exercise. I have been busy moving home and thought it would go away. I am upset as it is associated with older people. I am worried that it is not just in my foot, as I often complain of having 'aching bones' (which most people laugh at because it sounds funny from someone my age). I am going back to my GP to ask for tests. Can anyone give me any advice please? moreResolved Question: can inactivity, lack of exercise cause a young person to get osteoarthritis?

Specifically for problems with knees and ankles. Jogging and cycling are not options right now but is there something to build up the muscles around the joint so that they may be again?Thank you for all your answers so far. Just to clarify: I realise that it is due to worn away cartelidge however until it is completely worn away it appears that with weight loss and certain forms of excercise you can significantly delay the need for surgery. I am interested in which forms of excercise work best. moreOsteoarthritis Exercises Links
