I don't exactly know what the laws are regarding this sort of thing, but if a company feels that a person has a disability that will interfere with their ability to do a job or show up for work and its reasonably founded then I think they can.
There is no definitive test for any form of arthritis so unless you are suffering from some obvious inability or deformity associated with the disease it is very unlikely that they will wake up to it.
You can sue over anything, but you might want to talk to a lawyer to see if it has any merit.

My guess would be Courtyard Creations. I purchased a lounger from walmart a couple years ago that was sold under that company name, and the same lounger is now being sold under Mainstay brand. Courtyard Creations has no BBB accreditation, is rated "F" by BBB, and has numerous complaints online and indications of multiple lawsuits against them. If you dig deep enough, you find the two company names/products merging in many places. My belief is that due to all their legal problems they restructured and changed the company name to stay in business. Good luck contacting anyone with the company. It is liking chasing ghosts.
Many people do Water Aerobics for arthritis pain. It helps maintain and build your muscles as well as increasing flexibility so that movement is easier. Most cities have gyms that have indoor pools heated to at least 80 degrees--check with the Arthritis Foundation for locations and programs. I found that during exercise, I was often pain free for the hour of exercise. Also, many insurance plans will pay for the classes. Yes. Studies have shown that exercise helps people with arthritis in many ways. Exercise reduces joint pain and stiffness and increases flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance. Exercise is often part of a comprehensive arthritis treatment plan. This is what The National Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Information Clearinghouse recommends for how to get started: * Discuss exercise plans with your doctor. * Start with supervision from a physical therapist or qualified athletic trainer. * Apply heat to sore joints (optional; many people with arthritis start their exercise program this way). * Stretch and warm up with range-of-motion exercises. * Start strengthening exercises slowly with small weights (a 1 or 2 pound weight can make a big difference). * Progress slowly. * Use cold packs after exercising (optional; many people with arthritis complete their exercise routine this way). * Add aerobic exercise. * Consider appropriate recreational exercise (after doing range-of-motion, strengthening, and aerobic exercise). Fewer injuries to arthritic joints occur during recreational exercise if it is preceded by range-of-motion, strengthening, and aerobic exercise that gets your body in the best condition possible. * Ease off if joints become painful, inflamed, or red and work with your doctor to find the cause and eliminate it. * Choose the exercise program you enjoy most and make it a habit.

Anywhere. No company can discriminate against you on the basis of age, provided you're within the legal limitations.
No. An employer isn't supposed to discriminate against any one for any reason. However, you might be encountering employment rules about members of the same family working for the same company or, more usually the case, one working in a supervisory capacity for the other. The latter is usually not allowed. The former depends on the company.
The word "discriminate" is often used when referring to prejudiced behavior: The realtors in that neighborhood often discriminate against black couples who want to rent an apartment; white couples are shown available apartments, but black couples are told no apartments are for rent.
In the US there are still some grounds on which an employer is permitted to discriminate. Among them is "not doing a good job" and "misuse of company resources." Being a health and safety representative does not insulate you from the consequences of poor performance, etc. However, an employer is not permitted to discriminate against any employee for raising reasonable concerns about health and safety in the workplace, and a health and safety representative would be expected to do that, perhaps more than other employees.
