Rheumatoid Arthritis

An abnormality of the body's defense system causes inflammation of the joint, beginning in the joint lining and then affecting cartilage and bone.

Rheumatoid arthritis often affects much younger people than other forms of arthritis, and is more common in women than men.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms:

  • Stiffness, swelling, and pain in and around certain joints, especially after not moving for a while- eg., when you first wake up after sleeping
  • Affected joints typically include hands, fingers, wrists, ankles, feet, elbows, and knees.
  • Generally, if a joint on the right side of your body is affected, the same joint on the left side is also affected.
  • Feeling tired and run-down with swollen lymph glands, a low fever, little or no appetite, and weight loss
  • Appearance of small bumps under the skin near the affected joints
  • Exercising with Rheumatoid arthritis requires care

  • Rheumatoid joints benefit most from periods of rest and periods of exercise
  • Over-exercising can cause flare ups
  • Yoga is good for passive exercise when the joints are painful
  • Movement in water - swimming or aqua aerobics - offers excellent joint support
