The joints in my toes & fingers have enlarged, causing constant pain, sweeping with redness. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis throughout my body, tho from what I ve described, could it be RA instead? One yr ago, it started on my fingers, and now it s affected much more than that- moving very quickly thru my body; neck, low back, hip & ankles. I m scared it s going to cause me to be in a wheel chair before too long because it s happening so quickly. *I apologize, but I cannot pay for this, as I ve been unable to work, thus afford extras, (my ins. Has had to cover my medical expenses).
