Hello everyone,

Osteoarthritis impacts different joints in the body. It could be your spine, knees etc. Depending where your osteoarthritis is, it can make doing different tasks difficult.

Bending is painful due to my lower back. I also find using my left hand can be difficult depending on the task, ie washing dishes, typing etc due to wrist problems.

Walking down the stairs, bending my knees and peeling and chopping potatoes and hard vegetables due to arthritis in my fingers

@Tazzbar @Smudger @Sandykg @wednesday @lesmal @nineteen_gale Thank you all for sharing. Osteoarthritis seems like such a difficult condition that really impacts patients quality of life :/

Do other members find any tasks in particular difficult?
