• Knees: Difficulty walking down the steps, squatting, getting up from chair after a long period

 

• Hips: Sometimes the pain is felt in the buttocks, inner thigh, groin or even knees.  May restrict movements in bending, so activities such as putting on jeans, skirts and shoes can pose a big challenge
• Fingers: Develop after menopause.  Women are at greater risk because generally use the hands more than men.  Small bony knobs may appear on the end joints (closest to the nails) and on middle joints of the fingers.  Fingers can become enlarged and crooked, and will experience pain, stiffness and numbing.
