I'm not sure if it is an option for you but if it is and you would like get a second opinion from Mayo Clinic, you can find the contact information for the Minnesota, Arizona and Florida campuses here http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.
@lisaangela absolutely get a second and even third opinion...you may not have RA, it may be Lymes', Lupus or another auto-immune disorder. But one thing's for sure, you have something systemic causing chronic inflammation in addition to advanced osteo-arthritis. Have you completed menopause?
@lisaangela Welcome to connect we aren't Drs but help with our experience .With all you have are you under. Dr ,s care ?If not you need to see a rheumatologist Good luck I hope you post again
