Hello Doctor,
What complications are associated with rheumatoid arthritis, and how do they affect long-term health?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Rheumatoid arthritis can cause inflammation and damage to the joints over time, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and decreased range of motion. Without proper management, this joint damage can progress and become severe, resulting in deformities and disability. It may require regular monitoring through laboratory tests to assess their effectiveness and watch for potential side effects. These medications can have effects on various organs and systems in the body, so monitoring is essential to ensure their safety and efficacy.
Thanks
