He also stated that the last month was "brutal" since he can barely get up from his chair and his bed and that he was not allowed to take Ibuprofen and most of rheumatoid arthritis medications. The patient explained that for the for past 2 months he has been feeling crappy and there are days when he cannot walk related to the arthritis.
