What Are the Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis? (continued)

With rheumatoid arthritis hands are almost always affected. However, RA can affect any joint in the body, including wrists, elbows, knees, feet, hips, and even the jaw. In most cases joints are affected symmetrically, meaning the same joints on both sides of the body are affected.
Rheumatoid arthritis can be very painful, and chronic inflammation can lead to debilitating loss of cartilage, bone weakness, and joint deformity.
