Can a fall cause a rheumatoid arthritis flare up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Rheumatoid arthritis can affect several joints. Depending on the severity, the joints may not be able to recover from trauma as easily as non-injured joints. A fall or other injury can irrigate the already inflamed joint.
