What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Common Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing inflammation, pain, and potential joint damage. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to slowing progression and maintaining mobility.
- Joint Pain & Stiffness – Especially in the hands, wrists, and knees, often worse in the morning.
- Swelling & Redness – Inflammation in the joints that can lead to long-term damage.
- Fatigue – Feeling exhausted due to ongoing inflammation.
- Warm, Tender Joints – A common sign of active RA flares.
- Symmetrical Symptoms – Affecting both sides of the body, such as both wrists or both knees.
