A chronic inflammatory disease that mainly impacts the joints, rheumatoid arthritis causes swelling, stiffness, and pain. It happens when the body’s immune system misidentifies the joint lining as a threat and triggers inflammation. Over time, this can make movements difficult and may affect other organs such as the eyes and lungs. Early detection and timely management can slow the disease, protect joint function, and improve quality of life. We explore the early signs of rheumatoid arthritis, the development of joint inflammation, common risk factors, and the need for prompt diagnosis in preserving long-term joint health in this episode of the Rheumatoid Arthritis podcast. Join the PACE Hospitals Podcast with Dr Shweta Bhardwaj, Consultant Rheumatologist and Clinical Immunologist at PACE Hospitals, Hitech City, Hyderabad, as she explains how rheumatoid arthritis starts, the subtle signs patients often overlook, and the steps you can take to maintain healthier joints and overall well-being.
