Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, autoimmune disease that causes swelling of the joints. It’s also one of the most common types of inflammatory arthritis that affect about 1.3 million people in the U.S. alone.
While there’s no cure for RA, it can be managed through medications and other treatments to reduce pain, stiffness, and loss of function so the patient can enjoy their life to its fullest potential. If they are concerned about RA symptoms or want to learn more about treatment options for this condition, they should talk with their doctor.
