RA newly diagnosed

shrlypin

Hi there recently diagnosed with RA in February. Affecting my wrists knees and feet , yuk . I just wondered if you always get swelling ? A recent flare in my knee hospitalised me for 5 days due to pain , although there was some swelling there wasn't much . I'm wondering if swelling is always present , I seem to have more pain than anything else . Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
