Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory condition. It is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, leading to inflammation and pain. While our immune systems are designed to recognize and eliminate foreign invaders like viruses or bacterial infections, in autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, the body becomes confused. It targets its tissues, triggering an I’m
une response. The exact cause is unknown, but it can be effectively treated and managed.
