Working with RA can be tricky. Working really depends on how well controlled your RA is. A lot of people with RA are very active and work. Work should be evaluated based on your physical abilities, also take in mind what heavy lifting, being on your feet constantly, any repetitive actions will do to your joints. Any employment will have to be evaluated on an individual basis.
