New....does this sound like RA?

[Guest guest]

Hi! I am 27 years old and have been suffering with awful joint pain

since 2002. In March of '02 a 6mm nodule was found on my right mid-

lung, and said to be a chronic inflammatory foci. In April of '03,

blood work was done, and I had an elevated Rheumatoid factor (30).

I also have this round lump underneath the skin on my left

elbow...it is hard, but does not hurt. My worst pain is in my

knees, I have difficulty walking up and down stairs. Other areas of

pain are my feet, hands and shoulders (+ weak feeling). I do not

have swelling, but ALOT of pain. I have seen a neurologist to rule

out any nasty neuro diseases. What do you think? Thanks.
