Hello,
The symptoms mentioned do confirm that the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) attack might have started again. If you are on no treatment then need to take the drug/s which were advised for treating the condition earlier. Because RA is a recurring condition. There are remissions and then it comes back. Thus, it is necessary to visit your rheumatologist or physician and start necessary anti-rheumatoid therapy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
