So what people would feel would be swelling around the wrists or fingers, a pain in the balls of the feet, so walking is difficult. Big swollen knees and ankles could be found. But morning stiffness, so stiffness getting up in the morning, of the joints lasting for more than 30 to 60 minutes is quite a typical finding in rheumatoid arthritis.
