hello,
Pain and swelling around knee and legs does not leads to rheumatoid arthritis as diagnosis,there are other diseases which give similar representation.
If you had been my patient then instead of CMC Vellore I would had suggested Sancheti in Pune,it specializes in knee cases.
Hope you find this helpful
