Does this sound like RA, painful swollen ankle with redness, very painful to try to walk and put weight on it.

For the last few years my right ankle will flare up every so often with pain and hurting to walk causing me to limp. It usually goes away and has not caused too much discomfort. Two days ago it came back very strong. when I have been sitting or laying down and get up I can barely stand the pain…
