Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis can cause painful symptoms throughout the body. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), is a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes the lining around joints and sometimes organs to become inflamed and swollen, causing breakdown of cartilage and bone in the most extreme cases. Symptoms of RA can be noticeable in any of the joints and organs, and usually affects many parts of the body. Rheumatoid Arthritis often affects joints such as the fingers, wrists, knees, feet, and ankles, as well as organs including the skin, eyes, lungs, and heart.
While diagnostics and treatments for Rheumatoid Arthritis have improved greatly in recent years, there is still no cure. Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment can put the disease into remission, with medications, physical therapy, and surgery being common treatments. Rheumatoid Arthritis can be a progressive disease, however, and symptoms can worsen to the point that those with the disease are unable to go about their daily lives without serious impairment.
