It is not a disability in itself I was a carpenter engaged in very heavy physical active work while at the same time suffering from RA. However at a certain point the joint in one of my elbows was completely destroyed the result of which was that it had to be replaced with a metal one. this immediately disabled me to a certain extent as I am now not able to use a hammer with that arm and my weight lifting allowance has been enormously reduced as well. There are many chronic diseases that can disable people Arthritis is just one of them.
