A member asked:
What are the most common symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain/ stiffness: Stiffness of the hands and feet is most common. There is varying degrees of pain and swelling of the small joints of the hands and wrists. Deformities of the hands are common after some years as this disease destroys the joint cartilages due to ongoing inflammation.
