PAIN THAT MOVES IN MY JOINTS

[FARCKEL]

I HAVE PAIN AND SWELLING IN MY LEFT HAND I PUT A BRACE ON AND TAKE ADVIL.  THIS WILL GO AWAY AND THEN IT WILL START IN MY RIGHT HAND OR MT KNEE OR MY ANKLE. IT LASTS FOR ABOUT 3 TO 4 DAYS .  HURTS LIKE HELL AND THEN GOES AWAY.  DO YOU THINK THIS COULD BE "R A"?

How long has this been going on?  Have you seen a doctor?  Usually RA does not behave in this manner but there are other conditions that might such as palidromic arthritis.
