Do I have RA or not?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I'm 37 and may have RA though I'm really not sure. A few weeks ago I had to

spend all day sitting down and that night I had the absolute worst pain in

my knee and for the next week it hurt (inside knee aread). Then my foot, in

the part above the arch, the inner side, started hurting and the other foot

a little bit too. For the past week I've had a stiff/sore wrist/forearm upon

waking but by about 6 hours later it's back to normal. I had a blood test

and the only 'RA' seeming thing was the Rheumatoid Factor result - it was 20

(according to the lab, anything 14 and under is normal). My doctor doesn't

know for sure if I have it and has referred me to a rheumy, but it will be a

while before I get in so I'm just wondering if what I describe sounds like

RA to you? The affected parts in my feet aren't my joints, so to me it

doesn't seem like it is RA.... any thoughts?
