Although stiff joints are a classic symptom of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), you can also get them for other reasons.
If itâs RA, joint stiffness and other symptoms such as pain or fatigue tend to develop and worsen over several weeks or months. Itâs usually most noticeable in the morning. It often eases up after an hour or two, but it can last all day. You may feel it in these areas:
Fingers and hands
Wrists
Elbows
Knees
Ankles
Feet
Shoulders
Hips
Jaw
Make a list of your symptoms and when they happen. Do you notice them after a particular activity or first thing in the morning?
Note when your joint stiffness first began, and Did it start suddenly?
Does it come and go?
Is it painful?
Has it changed in intensity over time or moved to new joints?
See a rheumatologist if your joint stiffness, pain, or swelling lasts more than 2 weeks.
