Conditions

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease where your body’s immune system attacks its own tissues, primarily, joints. This causes inflammation, pain, swelling, and stiffness, especially in the feet. Over time, it can damage the joints and other parts of the body.

Unlike osteoarthritis, which is typically due to wear and tear, RA is an autoimmune disease that can affect people of all ages. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to managing symptoms and preventing long-term damage.
