My grandma had rheumatoid arthritis. She had swollen and painful joints.
She never had broken bones from it. I think your thinking of osteoarthritis.

No...I'm not. Osteoarthritis is just plain old arthritis...many older
people claimed they had what they called rheumatiz...but it was just
adbanced arthritis. Both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporisos cause
spontanous fracture with bery little to trigger it. Do a Google...
