Not a pleasant state, but there are drugs and treatments you can take to alleviate the pain and improve movement in the joints.
Too bad there are no drugs that can give Gerald McClellan back his sight and ability to walk.
Don't be an idiot, comparing yourself to these brain damaged warriors is incredibly idiotic.
Speaking as someone who HAS arthritis (and has never boxed), that is not a foolish comparison at all. Joint pain can lead to the same list of inabilities in daily life. There are some days where I can barely stand or walk because my hip will not allow me to.
Yes, there are medications that we can take to assist with the pain and there are joint replacement surgeries, so there are options that do not exist with brain damage.
But there is also the chance of having an active, creative brain trapped in a body that no longer functions as it should, leading to frustration or even depression. And like brain damage, it only worsens over time. Even the pain mediications and surgeries are only temporary measures.
