Are muscle cramps related to RA?

The muscles along my inner thigh will get cramped and it is painful to stand up. A teaspoon or two of yellow mustard usually stops it. I read about it on the internet. But I'm wondering why it is happening. RA??

  1. Hi NiteMare142. It is amazing the varied ways that RA can manifest itself. One of our contributors wrote about her issues with muscle cramps here: https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/blog/muscle-madness/. Any new symptom should be brought to the attention of your doctor. Hopefully some others will have some additional insight for you. Best, Richard (RheumatoidArthritis.net Team)
