Neuropathy is related to having nerve damage from being Diabetic. With Neuropathy there is pain but also numbness and tingling in the legs, feet, hands. With RA there is stiffness, pain. I am speaking from personal experience and I hope this helps you. The medications for RA and for Neuropathy are going to be different. But to make sure and to ease your mind, call your doctor and ask him/her. I say this because everyone who suffers from neuropathy and RA are different. Take care.

Diabetes can cause RA, check your blood sugar.
