Didn't realise guitars could get arthritis...sorry!
I have arthritis as well but only my knees are significantly affected - so far. After breaking the little finger of my left hand years ago it remains slightly deformed and stiff and makes most chords a little awkward, but I never was much of a guitar player anyway. Good luck Alley, keep practising and hope some of that good advice works.
