Understanding Rheumatoid Arthritis: Symptoms, Causes & Diagnosis

What is Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)?

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. Unlike osteoarthritis (which results from wear and tear), RA occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy joint tissues, leading to inflammation and potential joint damage if left untreated. Early diagnosis and proper rheumatoid arthritis treatment in Sharjah can help manage symptoms and prevent long-term complications.

Commonly Affected Joints in RA

  • Hands & Fingers (Symmetrical swelling & deformities)

  • Wrists (Stiffness & reduced mobility)

  • Knees (Pain, swelling, difficulty walking)

  • Feet & Ankles (Tenderness & joint deformities)

  • Shoulders & Elbows (Limited range of motion)

Key Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis

🔹 Joint pain & swelling (Often symmetrical)
🔹 Morning stiffness lasting over an hour
🔹 Fatigue & general weakness
🔹 Low-grade fever & loss of appetite
🔹 Red, warm joints due to inflammation
🔹 Long-term joint deformities (if untreated)

Causes & Risk Factors for RA in Sharjah

  • Autoimmune dysfunction (Body attacks its own tissues)

  • Genetic predisposition (Family history of RA)

  • Hormonal factors (More common in women)

  • Smoking & environmental triggers

  • Age (30-60 years most at risk)
