Rheumatoid arthritis usually affects small joints of hand and other large joints also. Very rarely if affects single joint like knee, hip and elbow (monoarticular rheumatoid arthritis ). Treatment has to be started and should be continued . Other than joint it has systemic manifestations.
Next Steps
Consult Rheumatologist and take his advice. If joint is damaged then should undergo Total knee replacement as last option.
