Can someone with arthritis pick up and move a pencil around for a short period of time?

Question

This is for a project at UBC.

Answer 1

This depends entirely on the severity of the arthritis. There are different forms of arthritis; each has a different cause. So it's impossible to answer this question with a yes or no type of answer. Pain patterns may differ depending on the arthritides and the location. Also, the pain level can vary from morning to evening.
