Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects joints. It may affect people of all age, but older adults in the age group of 40 to 60 years are at higher risk. The disease is more common in senior women than men. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include pain, stiffness, swelling, and redness in joints. Mostly smaller joints like fingers and toes are affected first then symptoms often spread to the wrists, knees, ankles, elbows, hips, and shoulders. It may affect other vital organs like skin, eyes, lungs, heart, kidneys, nerve tissues and bone marrow.
Living with Rheumatoid Arthritis can be challenging as it affects almost all the joints in the body symmetrically (e.g. both the knees or hips etc.). Rheumatoid Arthritis treatment comprises medication as prescribed by your rheumatologist, exercise, cold or heat compression and sufficient rest. Use of daily living aids can reduce stress on joints. With pain relief supports and braces, everyday activities and chores can be performed with ease. As mobility is affected, a walking stick or walker supports during movement and anti-slip floor solution or tapes may help prevent accidental falls. Self-help devices, such as jar openers, easy-grip utensils, and cutlery, multi-purpose grip, add on holders such as document holder, grab bars etc. can help live a less painful and a more independent life.
