RA will effect all parts of your body.
It can be in any joint. Pain and swelling can be everywhere or mainly in one area. Mine is mostly in my hips.
I have RA in the shoulder/hip it can be very painful 😢.
Hello 👋 Neshia I was lucky still Don't need surgery/but I do have same weakness. But also have c-spine fusion so truly don't want to touch my arm.
I tore my rotator cuff 3 times also. So I ended up with a total shoulder replacement.
