I have it. Was very debilitating until I was actually diagnosed. To the point where I was literally rolling out of bed because I was in so much pain.

Before the diagnosis, I thought I had various orthopedic issues - and am fairly certain I had one ortho surgery that was unnecessary as they were searching for the cause of significant pain in my wrist.

After being on biologics, I am 1000 times better and arguably in the best shape of my life now that I can be as active as a want pain free. I started on Humira (which worked well, but not excellent). Doc said I should at least try Enbrel - I have not been off it since.

I was treated for a severe ankle sprain with 6 weeks in a boot. Now I know that was just the arthritis killing my ankle. Weird to think what it took to finally get a diagnosis. When I did see the rheumatologist he said my sed rate was so high if I hadn't been so young he would have said I had cancer all over my body. Have been a different person after the humira.
