The immune system attacks the cells of the joints and causes rheumatoid arthritis. Although it is unclear why this occurs, evidence shows that even minor infections can cause the immune system to go haywire.
Patients often develop the condition in their teens and 20s. There appears to be an inheritable genetic component, as it can run in families. It is also more common in women.

Around 400,000 people are affected by rheumatoid arthritis in the UK
Nearly 1.3 Million adults live in the US with rheumatoid (RA). Around 400,000 suffer from RA in the UK.
The condition is three times more common in women than it is for men. People with a family history of rheumatoid arthritis are more at risk.
The immune system attacks itself and causes long-term pain, swelling, and stiffening.
RA, which is second in prevalence, often strikes between 40- 50 years of age.
Researchers are still unsure of the causes of RA. However, those who smoke and drink a lot red meat or coffee are more at risk.
Although no cure is yet available, treatments have been shown to slow the progression of the condition.
Aspirin is an over-the counter medication that can help manage pain and inflammation.
However, some people may need to have replacement joints. It is a good idea to exercise, as it helps you look after your joints.
