Rheumatoid Arthritis

Question  I have RA in all my joints except my back and neck. Lately I have been getting pain in the back of my thigh and numbness from my knee down. Does this sound like pinched sciatic nerve? What can cause it if I never had any back problems but I do have RA in my hips?
 
Answer  You may indeed have a separate back problem such as a herniated disk with sciatica.
