    Yes I have rheumatoid arthritis in my right knee and it’s a headache. I swells pretty good and my nurse practitioner want me to get a surgery but I haven’t so far. I just take arthritis meds for it

      Thanks for replying Jennie I was wondering about this as they’re both auto immune diseases . I’ve got Graves and have been suffering with a bad lower back and physio thinks it could be arthritis of the spine - just awaiting X-ray results ...

      I’m sorry you have RA in your knee as we have enough symptoms to cope with having Graves .  Take care of yourself and I hope the knee improves .
