an mri showed arthritis and i have seen an ra dr once for a first visit, but have questions. could it be something else?
i am only 33 and dont have a history of any steroids, maybe advil once in a while. the pain from the flare-up was a 15 out of 10. i am a reasonably active person.
i also in the past few months had long ridges in my nails, they looked like i had both my hands shut in a door

very remote possibility
psoriatic arthritis usually affect the big toe, then small joints of feet & hand, then ankles & then knees.
few questions plz: how old are you? & does psoriasis affect your nails?
if you are above 60, then you may very well have "Osteoarthritis" of the hip
if you are young then there is a condition called ( avascular necrosis) which is associated with few conditions like prolonged use of steroid.
addendum
check out this study from mayo clinic
