Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune condition where your immune system mistakenly attacks your joints—causing pain, swelling, and stiffness, often on both sides of the body.
Common signs: Morning stiffness, joint tenderness, fatigue, and swelling. Why it matters: Early diagnosis can prevent long-term joint damage and improve quality of life.
If these symptoms sound familiar, it might be time to talk to your doctor or take a self-assessment quiz. Knowledge is power!
Rheumatoid arthritis causes stiffness, pain, and swelling in the joints. Early signs include joint pain that lasts over six weeks and morning stiffness.
