to answer the OP's queston - No - but arthritis has a big impact on guitar playing. I am getting there and a new pain in the hands is a big let down for the day. That said you learn to move to partial chords and less painful fingering to keep moving. It's actually made me more innovative and forced some new fret board exploration. - It will be a sad day when the guitar just gets too painful but I can see it comming.
