I’ve Been Told No!!

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭

My ankles, feet and toes are so painful since I got RA , they swell up and some days I can barely walk but I’ve been told off doctors and rheumatoid nurses that I can’t get RA in my feet so does anyone have any ideas on what it could be as it started at exactly the same time???🤷‍♀️

I search and found this,
Rheumatoid Arthritis of the Foot and Ankle

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that attacks multiple joints throughout the body. It most often starts in the small joints of the hands and feet, and usually affects the same joints on both sides of the body.

More than 90% of people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) develop symptoms in the foot and ankle over the course of the disease.
