Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune and inflammatory disease that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells in the body, leading to inflammation and painful swelling in affected areas. Different types of rheumatoid arthritis typically attack multiple joints simultaneously, with common locations including the hands, wrists, and knees. Rheumatoid arthritis knee is a common condition giving severe pain. In the affected joints, the lining becomes inflamed, resulting in damage to joint tissue that can cause chronic pain, lack of balance, and misshapenness. Additionally, RA can impact other tissues in the body and lead to complications in organs such as the lungs, heart, and eyes. Osteoarthritis and rheumatic arthritis both result in inflammation and pain. However, osteoarthritis occurs when the smooth cartilage joint surface wears out.

Osteoarthritis usually begins in an isolated joint. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, which means that the immune system malfunctions and attacks the body instead of intruders.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms

RA being inflammatory arthritis symptoms may get worse, known as flares, and times when symptoms get better, known as remission. Patients may have stiffness in more than one joint, pain or aching in more than one joint, tenderness and swelling in more than one joint, fever, fatigue or tiredness, weight loss, and weakness.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Diagnosis

RA is diagnosed by reviewing symptoms, conducting a physical examination, and doing X-rays and lab tests like RA factor. It’s best to diagnose RA early within 6 months of the onset of symptoms so that people with the disease can begin treatment to slow or stop disease progression (for example, damage to joints). Diagnosis and effective treatments, particularly treatment to suppress or control inflammation, can help reduce the damaging effects of RA.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment

RA can be effectively treated and managed with medication(s) and self-management strategies. RA factor rheumatology treatment usually includes the use of medications that slow the disease and prevent joint deformity, called disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs); biological response modifiers (biologicals) are medications that are an effective second-line treatment. In addition to medications, people can manage their RA with self-management strategies proven to reduce pain and disability, allowing them to pursue the activities important to them.

Although there's no rheumatoid arthritis cure, early treatment and support (including medicine, lifestyle changes, supportive treatments, and surgery) can reduce the risk of joint damage and limit the impact of the condition. Your treatment will usually involve care from your GP and several different specialists.
