I am concerned I have RA because my legs hurt all the time. They mainly hurt in my quad muscles right above my knees. It even hurts to put the laptop on top of them. My ankles also hurt. I do have pain at times in my bones in my arms. Cold weather only makes it all worse. My brother has RA and I am wondering it this sounds like it. he muscle in my right leg even feel a little larger that the left and it hurts worse.I am also 35 years old.

    Hi, I'm 25, and recently just gave up my career as a professional dancer sad I had the exact feeling in my legs a few months back, I was diagnosed with RA in November, (although after researching it myself and the long wait to see a specialist, I knew months before)

    I have just recently launched a blog where I talk about RA and how to get a diagnosis quicker then I did, I hope to help others like yourself who are unsure, if they are finding it hard to deal with or simply someone to talk to.
