RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS TREATMENT IN GOA
Are you suffering from pain in your joints and bones? While pain in our joints, bones, ligaments, muscles, and tendons are common when the pain becomes severe with each passing day, it might be a sign of an onset of rheumatic disease.
Rheumatoid Arthritis is an auto-immune ailment that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. People diagnosed with this disease have antibodies in their blood that attack the body tissues, causing inflammation. When the lining of the joints is attacked, the inflammation results in redness, warmth, and swelling. Sometimes people with RA may not necessarily see redness and swelling in the joints but they may experience tenderness and pain. Symptoms to look out for include
• Pain, tenderness, swelling, or stiffness in that joint that that lasts for over six weeks
• Stiffness of joints in the morning that lasts for more than 30 minutes
• More than one joint is affected. The smaller joints viz. wrists and certain joints in the hands and feet are affected first and are the effects are usually seen on both sides of the body.
• Fatigue and low-grade fever can also be symptoms of RA.
