Can you get arthritis or osteoarthritis on the back of your hand?

Sort of: Arthritis can affect many of the joints of the hand and the pain may be felt on the back of the hand. A good exam and simple x-ray will give much information. Best of luck.

Maybe: Osteoarthritis occurs in the joints. One can get osteoarthrtis in the joints of the wrist or in the knuckles of the fingers. Common also in the base of the thumb, particularly in women.
