I'm left handed (and totally left sided) but my RA pain is much worse in my

right hand. But I also use that hand for mousing on the computer, and I wonder

if I notice the pain more because I'm on the computer all day at work. I've

noticed that it is almost impossible for me to write any more with my left hand,

so hard to hold a pen.

I am right -handed, but my major hand pain is on my left hand. I think it is

because I have OA in that hand. The rest of the joints are about 50/50.

I don't know about others, but I am dominantly right handed and my RA is worse

on my left hand, left knee and left hip.

Me Too . I am right handed and my left is much worse. Same with the left

knee, left foot so on. I thought maybe RA effects the weaker of the joints and

osteoarthritis is more of a wear and tear which would be the joints you use

mostly. Just my theory for what its worth. Good luck.
