Will arthritis drastically effect my piano and harp playing?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Arthritis: Over time arthritis can cause joint destruction and you would not be able play the piano and harp. The best medications to treat this condition are the biologics: enbrel, humira, or remicade (infliximab). These medication reverse the damage that arthritis causes. Patients with arthritis are also more susceptible to heart attacks and strokes. The biologics reduce the incidence of these medical problems.
