My knee cap is starting to hurt? i work all day standing and i have ra ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your Rheumatolog: Pain in the knee cap could be related to RA however there are other possible causes. For young women especially there is a problem called chondromalacia. There are also other types of arthritis, and functional problems and bone abnormalities related to your disease. You should discuss your symptoms with your rheumatologist and determine a cause before any other steps are taken.
