RA And Lymphedema

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Tucson, AZ, AZ

Hello all from a newbie!
I am wondering if there are others out there, like myself, who have been diagnosed with RA and Lymphedema?

Some information out there shows a connection between the two as far as the inflammatory process works and I would really appreciate any info and the ability to connect with others regarding my question.

I have been diagnosed, through medical advice and genetic testing, that I carry genetic markers for both.

Thank you so much.

Well if you find out, let me know. Genetic testing is so interesting to me.

I have RA, but not lymphedema. I was just recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia even though I thought I had for years. It's very interesting that you had genetic testing. Which doctor did it? Did you have an RA factor test? I'm curious to know why the doctor chose to do that.
