Detailed explanation-1: -RA commonly affects joints in the hands, wrists, and knees. In a joint with RA, the lining of the joint becomes inflamed, causing damage to joint tissue. This tissue damage can cause long-lasting or chronic pain, unsteadiness (lack of balance), and deformity (misshapenness).
Detailed explanation-2: -Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. This means your immune system (which usually fights infection) attacks the cells that line your joints by mistake, making the joints swollen, stiff and painful.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can cause hand deformities to develop, such as inverted appearing knuckles. Over time, as the disease progresses, it can lead to disability as the pain and restricted range of motion make it difficult to function.
Detailed explanation-4: -Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. This means that your immune system – which usually fights infection – attacks the cells that line your joints by mistake, making them swollen, stiff and painful. Over time, this can damage the joint itself, the cartilage and nearby bone.
