RA and hip pain

Question  Hi,
It has been about one week since the flare of my RA start settling down and my left hip is still realy sore. When I walk my feet point outward. It never did that before. When I walk the top of my legs don't rub together any more. I think my legs are turning out. Could these be sings of joint damage to my hip?
 
Answer  Possibly, but impossible to tell completely without examining you. RA affects the hip only in about 10-15% of patients.
