I've just come back from the doctor. I went because for 2 weeks I have had discomfort in my hands, knees and feet and I thought it needed checking out. They feel tight and swollen but aren't really. It hurts a bit to climb the stairs.
We didn't really discuss much, but she asked if there was family history of RA (yes) then sent me straight for a blood test to see if I had it. I have to wait a week for the results.
Now I'm googling and panicking. I'm 36. It could just be nothing, right? I'd really appreciate some information if anyone has experience of this.
