Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that can affect more than just
your joints. In some people, the condition can damage a wide variety of body systems,
including the skin, eyes, lungs, heart and blood vessels.
An autoimmune disorder, rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system
mistakenly attacks your own body's tissues. Unlike the wear-and-tear damage of
osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis affects the lining of your joints, causing a painful
swelling that can eventually result in bone erosion and joint deformity. The
inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis is what can damage other parts of
the body as well. While new types of medications have improved treatment options
dramatically, severe rheumatoid arthritis can still cause physical disabilities.
Signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis may include:
Tender, warm, swollen joints
Joint stiffness that is usually worse in the mornings and after inactivity
