Symptoms:

Common symptoms include joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and tenderness, often worse in the morning or after periods of rest.

Progression:

If left untreated, rheumatoid arthritis can cause significant damage to the joints and surrounding tissues, leading to reduced movement and difficulty performing daily activities.

Other effects:

Rheumatoid arthritis can also affect other parts of the body, including the eyes, skin, heart, lungs, and nerves.
