Understanding Rheumatoid Arthritis: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, leading to inflammation and pain. This chronic disorder tends to develop gradually, often starting with minor symptoms that may come and go, typically affecting both sides of the body.
