Broken bones with RA

I have oftened wondered what affact RA ia going to have on healing a broken bone. Just my luck, I get to find out 1st hand. On January 4th.

I was a little wobbly but quickly skating came back and then my 12 year old fell on the right side of me.

Right now I can stand twenty minutes before my feet really start to hurt and soon after that I just have to get off of them.
