Can RA begin affecting only the knees?

melissa
06/01/09

My knees are swollen, red and hot, visibly inflammed. I don't feel any morning stiffness though I do feel the knees seem harder to move when I get up in the morning or after resting during the day, but even then I can move them fully and this effect lasts seconds to minutes. I wonder if this could be RA?

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I'm no doctor or anything, but it could be the starting's of RA, or it could be Osteoarthritis, or gout-any number of things. This is somthing you should see your doctor for, and have some test done to see what is going on. Let us know what you find out Cheryl
