Rhumatoid Arthritus

People with rheumatoid arthritis often experience pain, stiffness, and swelling in their joints, and may have fatigue and occasional fevers. This autoimmune disease is different from other types of arthritis; symptoms of this condition generally occur in a symmetrical pattern, meaning if one hand is affected, the other one will be too. Although rheumatoid arthritis can be painful and may limit functioning, many of these symptoms can be improved with medications, lifestyle changes, or surgery.
