Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by inflammation in the joints. The hallmarks of inflammation are soft (feels “mushy”) swelling, redness and warmth of the joint. There is tenderness and often pain with use and restricted range of motion. Rheumatoid arthritis may have other more generalized symptoms such as fatigue, swollen glands and low grade fevers. Classically Rheumatoid Arthritis is in the hands, wrists and feet but can involve any joint. Usually blood tests will show signs of inflammation and often a positive rheumatoid factor or anti-CCP antibody. Your Primary Care physician or a Rheumatologist should be able to differentiate this from the more common osteoarthritis.
