The feeling of tightness and fluid in the hands is something I deal with every morning. It does ease up as the day goes on yet I still have a fullness or tightness even before I go to bed at night.
As for the legs, yes, I get joint pains in my hips, knees, ankles, even my toes.
I just think it is par for the course with this lovely disease.
Sometimes if it is bad a warm bath helps me and sometimes I have to double up on meds.
Sorry your having a day with pain. I hope it eases up for you. Do you take anything for inflammation? Maybe a couple of Advil, Motrin, etc...may do the trick.
