A member asked:
Since i didn't get an early treatment for my ra. am i high risk of ending up on a wheel chair or die ?

RA: High risk for wheelchair or death? No. Delayed or non-treated rheumatoid arthritis can lead to joint pain and destruction. However considering your younger age it is certainly not too late to start treatment.
