Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, autoimmune disease that causes inflammation, pain, and swelling in the joints. This condition often affects the small joints in the hands, wrists, and knees, but it can also impact other parts of the body. RA is characterized by periods of disease flare-ups and remission. While there's no cure, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help manage symptoms and prevent joint damage.
