10 PTS BEST ANSWER. Does this mean that I have rheumatoid Arthritis (I was told by one doctor I do and another I don’t). It is really frustrating. Please help! Thank you!

my poor father was just diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and from what he’s telling me, it’s just awful. Christmas is coming up and I don’t want to buy him some useless gadget that he’ll never use, if I can, I would really like to buy him something that might help him with his rheumatoid arthritis. Maybe some special therapy session or some kind of special massager or something.. money really isn’t an issue but I would prefer to keep my gift under $500, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
