Better Idea (Score 1)

Instead of retreating, attack! Or better yet understand that if you stop using your hand your arthritis will become worse, or at least feel worse. Using your hand will force your body to lube your joints, including the ones that don't work so well. I'd suggest, besides Guitar Hero 1 & 2, to read "The Arthritis Action Program" ISBN: 0684868024 and "The Arthritis Cure" ISBN:0312990634. Both books have tought me a lot about my arthritis and arthritis in general. -- -alburnett P.S. I'm not a Doctor. And I'm in my 20s with arthritis.
