Squeeze test

Is it possible to have RA and not have significant pain when joints are squeezed even with significant swelling, redness and stiffness? My joints hurt most when I use them. Is this common?

    My joints hurt all the time but are worse in the morning or after sitting for a while.

    Hi Alamode,

    my joints hurt all the time and worse if squeezed.  Also I seize up if I've been sitting for even 10 minutes and have to get up and move around to even be able to stand upright.

    Absolutely.   Only my ring finger and thucmb hurt when squeezed,   The remainder of my affected joints ache all the time the pain getting worse with movement.   Squeezing them makes no appreciable difference.
