Answers:
See a physician. Make sure that you DO have R.A. and are getting the proper medications for your joint pathology and pain. James Coburn the star of the movie "In Like Flint" (in the 60's) and many films since has suffered from R.A with severe pain and deformity of his hands (hidden by the camera) has continued to work into the present.

There is no question that it is a painful disease, but there is help out there including devices to help you dress yourself. Search the internet for R.A. support groups who can answer your questions from their own experience in mastering this disease.

contact your doctor
