Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune and inflammatory condition in which your immune system unintentionally assaults healthy cells of the body, leading to inflammation and painful swelling in the areas of affected. RA primarily targets joints, typically more than one join at a time. Rheumatoid arthritis produces excruciating swelling in the joints of wrists, hands, and knees. Joint pain, swelling, and stiffness are among the symptoms, which are at higher intensity in the morning. Fever and appetite loss follow the patient's feeling of exhaustion. Although there is no permanent cure for rheumatoid arthritis, early treatment can improve prognosis. The spread of the disease can be slowed down, its symptoms can be controlled, and joint deformity can be avoided with the aid of drugs and, on occasion, surgery. Living a healthy, active lifestyle, keeping a weight in control, and using self-care techniques to manage symptoms can all help to reduce effects of RA.
