Rheumatoid arthritis: Symptoms of RA can vary greatly. Startup pain ( to get going after sitting for a while) can certainly be one of them, but can also be 'normal' arthritis. Best solution would be to check with a rheumatologist and have your rheumatoid factor and other factors tested in the blood to see what's going on. Combined with maybe x-rays and a good exam, you can find out. Best of luck!

RA : Fatigue, joint stiffness usually of small joints of hands, wrists , elbows, shoulders, knees , ankles and feet though on occasion it can start on a larger joint and spread to affect rest of the joints in a symmetrical fashion. Morning stiffness is usual. Swelling of affected joints are common . Check with rheumatologist for such symptoms as early diagnosis plays significant role in treatment.
