Hands knitting affected by osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis. Elderly womans hands use knitting needles whilst affected by osteoarthritis and showing Heberdens nodes. Osteoarthritis is a common form of arthritis resulting from wear and tear on joints. It is a disease of joint cartilage, associated with secondary changes in underlying bone which may be painful and ultimately impairs and deforms the function of the affected joint. Heberdens nodes are ring-like swellings in the finger joints near the fingertips. These nodes are formed by a lump of cartilage. Osteoarthritis occurs most frequently in the elderly. Treatment includes anti- inflammatory drugs or surgery in severe cases

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the reality of living with osteoarthritis, a common form of arthritis that affects many elderly individuals. In the image, an elderly woman's hands can be seen knitting, despite being affected by this debilitating condition. The presence of Heberdens nodes, ring-like swellings in her finger joints near the fingertips, further highlights the impact of osteoarthritis on her daily life. Osteoarthritis is caused by wear and tear on joints over time, leading to damage in joint cartilage and secondary changes in underlying bone. This results in pain and ultimately impairs the function and appearance of affected joints. While it predominantly affects older individuals, its symptoms can vary from mild discomfort to severe debilitation. Treatment options for osteoarthritis include anti-inflammatory drugs or surgery in severe cases. However, this image serves as a reminder that even with such treatments available, managing this chronic condition requires resilience and determination. Through this poignant photograph from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of the importance of understanding and supporting those living with arthritis. It sheds light on both the physical challenges faced by individuals like this elderly woman and their unwavering spirit to continue engaging in activities they love despite their condition.
