ADK’s and arthritis?

Hey everyone, I absolutely LOVE hiking the adks. It’s been an obsession and I’d been going every weekend during the summer and fall and several times in the winter. In the last 6 months my body has been giving me a hard time and my dr is investigating rheumatoid arthritis and im convinced thats what it is. Is there anyone here who does new york/new england hiking with arthritis? I’d be devastated if this is going to prevent me from getting into the mountains.
