I have a painful stiff jaw. when i get in a certain position my back is so stiff and painful & unable to move sometimes. could this be ra? thanks

Stiff joints: There are many reasons for you to have stiff and painful joints. Certainly, autoimmune phenomenon such as RA can present with joint pain but diagnosis requires careful examination in concert with blood work. Rheumatoid arthritis is unlikely to present in this manner, especially in such a young patient :)
