I've had trauma done to both of my legs when I was younger I can barely walk I hop around crying there's got to be a better cure or better way to deal with pain than what I'm doing now I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm tired of living this way I hope nobody else feels the way that I do because I wouldn't put this on anybody not even an enemy

Yes, leg pain is a common experience for many people with RA. Members have reported various types of leg pain, from deep bone pain to muscle cramping. Some describe it as a throbbing sensation or feeling like their legs are being squeezed. Standing for extended periods can be particularly challenging.

The pain can vary in intensity and may feel worse at night or during cold weather. Some people experience associated symptoms like a cold sensation in their legs along with sharp pains. If you're experiencing leg pain, it's important to discuss it with your rheumatologist, especially if you're taking medications like methotrexate. They can help determine if the pain is related to your RA or medication side effects and suggest appropriate treatment options. Some people find relief through gentle exercise, physical therapy, or using heating pads.
