I'm looking for some advice from fellow forum users. I'm dealing with arthritis and I'm wondering where it hurts the most. I'm experiencing pain in my hands, feet, hips, and back, but I'm wondering if there are other areas where arthritis commonly causes discomfort. I'd love to hear from others who have dealt with this condition and learn more about what to expect. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Arthritis usually affects the joints, which can cause pain and stiffness. The location of the pain depends on the type of arthritis. For example, osteoarthritis typically affects the hands, knees, hips and spine, while rheumatoid arthritis can affect the wrists, knees, shoulders and ankles. Generally, the pain is felt in the joints that are most affected by arthritis, but it can also spread to other areas. In some cases, the pain can even extend beyond the joints and affect other parts of the body.

Arthritis pain can vary quite a bit between individuals, but is most commonly felt in the joints. Areas such as the wrists, knuckles, knees, hips, shoulders, and spine are the most common sites of arthritis pain, although it can also affect other parts of the body such as the fingers, toes, ankles, and elbows. Pain may be intermittent or constant, and can range from a mild ache to a severe burning or stabbing sensation. Treatment for arthritis pain typically involves medications, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and in some cases, surgery.
