From joint stiffness, swelling, and tenderness to fatigue, fever, and weight loss, we cover a wide range of indicators that may indicate the presence of this condition. Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial for effective management.

Discover the diagnostic methods used by healthcare professionals to identify Rheumatoid Arthritis accurately. We discuss blood tests, imaging techniques, and physical examinations that aid in the diagnosis process. Early detection plays a vital role in formulating an appropriate treatment plan.

Explore the available treatment options for Rheumatoid Arthritis, which aim to reduce pain, and inflammation, and slow down joint damage progression. We discuss both nonpharmacological approaches, such as physical therapy and lifestyle modifications, as well as various medications and diseasemodifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) commonly prescribed by healthcare providers.

Additionally, we touch upon the importance of multidisciplinary care, including the involvement of rheumatologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other healthcare professionals.
