What Is Rheumatoid Arthritis?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes your body to attack your joints in a similar way to how it would fight off an infection. This causes inflammation in your joints that inhibits your mobility. Left untreated, the inflammation can eventually cause the cartilage in your joints to break down, causing significant pain and further inhibiting your mobility.<\/p>\n

Rheumatoid arthritis, which approximately 1.5 million Americans suffer from, can affect more than just your joints, and it is important that you seek treatment right away if you believe you suffer from this condition.<\/p>\n
