My grandfather's arthritis was crippling for him. He had over 20 surgeries to remove excess bone so the majority of his joints (fingers, toes, knees, elbows, shoulders, hips) could function mildly. Was on a daily morphine prescription to dull the pain but it never really worked. Most task requiring finger dexterity were not done. Cracking open a can of beer was a task without him having his opener.

The amount of pain the individuals with rheumatoid arthritis go through is incredible and heart breaking to say the least.
