Heberden´s Node.

    I've got a few Heberden's nodes. I also have a story for each one. Mostly from playing goalie. My nodes were all associated with an injury. If osteoarthritis is the wear and tear arthritis or associated with fracture within the joint then it would make sense that you would have a story to go with each node.

    So, if you wear shoes most of the time, when you stub your toe, you are less likely to break it and develop a node.

    In podiatry School they also taked about Bouchard's nodes in the proximal interphalangeal joints. They taught, at the time, that was more associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). They also said that intermittant nodes was more likely osteoarthritis and symmetrical and all finger or toe nodes was more likely to be RA. So, that makes some sense as well.
