What is Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)?

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. Unlike osteoarthritis, which affects the cartilage, RA attacks the synovial membrane, the lining of the joints. This inflammation can damage the joint tissues, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and even joint deformity over time. RA can affect any joint in the body, but it commonly targets the hands, wrists, knees, and feet, often affecting joints on both sides of the body symmetrically.

Causes of Rheumatoid Arthritis

The exact cause of RA remains unknown, but several factors are believed to be involved:

  • Immune System Dysfunction: A malfunction of the immune system is a key factor. The body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues in the joints, leading to inflammation and damage.
  • Genetics: Having a close relative with RA increases your risk.
  • Environmental Factors: Certain factors like smoking, exposure to specific bacteria or viruses, and hormonal changes might be potential triggers.

Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis

The symptoms of RA can vary depending on the severity of the inflammation and the affected joints. Some common symptoms include:

  • Pain: Joint pain, often described as a dull ache or stiffness, usually worse in the mornings and after periods of inactivity.
  • Stiffness: Joint stiffness, particularly noticeable upon waking up in the morning, that may improve with movement throughout the day.
  • Swelling: Inflammation around the affected joints, causing visible puffiness and warmth.
  • Loss of Function: Joint pain, stiffness, and swelling can significantly reduce your ability to perform daily activities.
  • Fatigue: Many people with RA experience unexplained fatigue and tiredness.
  • Low-grade Fever: A slight fever may accompany other symptoms, especially during flare-ups.
