    Hi @Wacky

    Welcome to the online community and thank you for joining us. I hope that you will find this a friendly space to continue sharing with us.

    So you have RA and started Rituximab in February but have found that you are still in pain and that your hands feel like they have worsened. Wondering what other peoples experiences are on this medication.

    It must feel very frustrating to have not had any relief from your new medication, hopefully you will have some soon. It can take a while for the medication kick in and everyone as a different experience of this.

    Ive been able to find the following information for you and I hope this is of help to you.

    Im sure other members will be able to share their experience with you also.

    Please do let us know how you are getting on and please do continue to keep posting and getting involved.

    Take care
