painful joints I have pain in almost all of my joints, my knees, elbows, ankles, wrists, shoulders, hips, back, and neck. Does this mean that i could have RA. If I am on my feet for a while my ankles start to hurt. My elbows hurt if they are bent for a while or just straight. some times my fingers get numb, it will start with my pinky finger, then go to my ring finger, then it will just be my whole hand.
