I Am 80 Years Old ( Male) Have Had Both

I am 80 years old ( male) have had both hips replaced,(7 & 10 yeats ago) bladder cancer so I have a urostomy, prostate removed five years ago. I quit smoking about 16 years ago and do not drink alcohol and have had a very active life to this point!

About two years ago I started having joint problems the pain seems to migrate from one joint to the other, have been to my family doctor he sent me to a rheumatologist, his answer is rheumatoid arthritis!

The attacks are coming closer together and more severe my family doctor now has being on 20 mg of prednisone

For some reason what they tell me and how I feel don't add up!

Have always been a very active
