Would this condition stop me from getting in to the army ?

Post by davierenfrew »

5 years ago i went to the doctors because of a couple of my finger joints swelling up, The doctor said it was Rheumatism of the finger joint and she gave me anti inflammatory gel.
I have not had a problem with them since, Just wondering if this would stop me getting in to the army as im not sure that it comes under a definate form of arthritis or just a related condition ? :-?

Not really sure about the condition itself but with it been 5 years since you were last effected you stand a good chance. I used to suffer from migranes which is usually a big no-no in the army but beacuse i hadn't needed to see my GP in over 5 years there was no problem.
