No, Arthritis can make your life miserable and you have less opportunites to do in life. So eat a lot of Vitamin C or anything orange. Don't gain too much weight or that can be harder for the joints to work. Exercise, but don't lift too much weight or that can crack your joints. Hope this answers your question.
