Has anyone heard that ankles and wrists typically do not develop OA.
Someone suggested to me that they read this on a credible site, but I
do not believe that this is true. What do you think?

not true. my rd and my hand surgeon told me to expect my wrist, because of
the damage to it, to develop oa and my left ankle already has oa.

Rose, I have OA in all four! To my thinking, it's just another joint
and a joint with lots of pieces at that. OA is just wear on the
joint.

I have OA in my left ankle. I say they're a dimwit if they can't provide
a reference. Yes, I'm grumpy tonight...see: >:-|

Gee...I wish someone had talked it over with my ankles and wrist before they
decided to get it...Hmmmm
Can't say for sure that is what it is, but feels exactly like the pain in
the hands, feet, knees...
just hasn't gotten as bad there yet...Course...Typically can mean that it
doesn't happen as often...but since I am not Typical...That could account
for it...LOL

My right ankle is staging a protest of that statement! It hurts like
the devil today and only feels good when propped up on the hassock. I
don't know if it's the RA or osteo, but I strongly suspect osteo which
is what plays havoc with my spine.
