Yes and No: If you have arthritis, we need to know the type as there are 2 common types of Arthritis: Rheumatoid(more serious) and Osteoarthritis(also called degenerative joint disease). We need to know which/how many joints are affected. Do you have a regular doctor? WHAT IS HIS/HER ADVICE ABOUT THE EFFECT OF WEATHER ON ARTHRITIS? IT IS SOMEWHAT CONTROVERSIAL SO DO NOT MAKE THIS DECISION TO MOVE LIGHTLY.
