What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Tens of millions of Americans experience the nagging pains and physical limitations of the more than 100 forms of arthritis.

Sometimes these symptoms make even the simplest activities such as opening a jar or taking a walk difficult to manage.

Unlike osteoarthritis, which results from wear and tear on your joints, rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory condition. The exact cause is unknown, but it’s believed to be the body’s immune system attacking the synovium the tissue that lines your joints.
