I broke a bone in my hand and didn't go to the doctor. It's been healed now for about 2 to 3 months now. My question is, does Arthritis only effect the joint in your body or can a bone have or get Arthritis. In case you are wondering, the bone I broke was ring finger on my right hand but further down the hand right below the nuckle.

I'd say half an inch below the nuckle. Remember kids, lead with your pointer finger and middle finger when punching.

If you are having pain after 2 or 3 months, you need to see your doctor. The break could be healing around the nerve. My son broke a finger and didn't realize it was broken. It healed around the nerve and had to have surgery to repair it.

Arthritis has different kinds that you are unaware where in the body is affected.

It is in the joints..PERIOD! But there are different types that effect differently.
