Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the lining of the joints, causing chronic inflammation, pain, and, over time, possible joint damage.
Common symptoms:
- Pain and swelling in several joints, often symmetrically
- Morning stiffness that can last a good part of the morning
- Fatigue and general malaise
Which specialist treats it? The rheumatologist is the reference specialist for studying and following up on this disease. When joint pain and stiffness become persistent, seeing this professional in time helps to better understand what is happening and to protect joint function.
