MY dad has rheumatoid arthritis and it started in his back but spread to his hip an now down one leg!His doctor started him on hydro's an morphine to help him handel the pain so he can exercise on a daily basis.He gets 26 shots in his back twice a month in hopes of putting it in remission!!The doctors said in about 2 yrs he wouldn't be walking but then he went back about 3 months later an they said they thought he would have about 6 months at the rate it was progressing.Mom don't think it will be but about 3months.The doctor put him in physical therapy 3 times a week an he walks each day.But he keeps getting weak and falling it's getting harder for him to walk.Is this as serious as it seems to me.He is out of bed only for about 3 to 4 hours a day.
