Can Rheumatoid Arthritis Lead To Neuropathy In The Legs And Feet?

Can RA cause neuropathy? I have been diagnosed with neuropathy after biopsies were done in my legs, and it has not been getting better. Last September I had been diagnosed with RA and have started treatment. Is it possible that the RA is contributing to the nerve damage in my legs and feet?
