What do you advise if i'm having symetric joint pain, stiffness and swelling, could this be ra?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, it could be. I recommend you get in to see your doctor as there are further tests that can be done to determine if this is RA or another autoimmune process occurring.
