Rheumatism: You are describing SI joint pain and some signs of systemic disease. SI joint is frequent in RA but the hands are the most diagnostic. Multiple joints affected is the hallmark of RA. Still, there are many other forms of systemic arthritis. I would be suspicious but the diagnosis would be incomplete. Give it a few months to check progression. Meanwhile, intelligent exercise is the key.
