Yes, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can indeed affect the hips. It is a chronic autoimmune disease that can cause inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and pain in various joints, including the hips. This can significantly impact mobility and quality of life. RA typically affects joints symmetrically, so it may involve both hips, although it's possible for just one hip to be affected.

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I need one of those I remember the days when women wore them. I had my hips X-ray d they’re normal it’s my spine that radiates pain around hips. If they have already done surgery on your hips for a fracture I would think surgeon could determine any RA damage Bev

Yes bc cartilage, tendons, bursa, bones. RA goes where it wants. My hips bother me bad, off and on. I notice my steps get shorter and it's hard to get up into our truck or even a car.

Then, sitting, lying down?

I put on my pants and I couldn't get the back seam in the center bc one side was swollen up larger. That is very noticeable. I need to get a pup tent for going out to eat.
