It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably a rheumatologist. Wish you good health!

Definitely RA or RA variants are possible in this clinical context. Hopefully you will see soon a rheumatologist so that a proper diagnosis is established and treatment started.
