I have RA and it mostly effects my hands feet and ankles. I am currently not in a lot of pain because I am taking celebrex twice a day and it has really helped me a lot! But before that I was taking arthrotec and I was in a lot of pain! Some days I couldn't eat anything that required using utensils because my hands hurt too bad to hold a fork. I started having symptoms in my hands first and then everything else just kind of followed. Right now my hands look kind of twisted from the disease. On a side note, I'm 24 and my boyfriend and I have been together for over a year now and I know we'll eventually get married and I worry about when he does propose to me cause I know I'll want to show off my ring but I hate for people to see my hands because of what the arthritis has done to them. Hope this helps in answering the questions you have!
