Rheumatoid Arthritis Q & A
What causes rheumatoid arthritis?
RA occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks joint tissues, causing inflammation that damages cartilage and bone. While the exact cause is unknown, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors may contribute.
What are the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis?
Symptoms include joint pain, swelling, morning stiffness, fatigue, and loss of function. RA often affects smaller joints first (like fingers and wrists) and can progress to larger ones over time.
How does Ashford Pain Solutions treat rheumatoid arthritis?
At Ashford Pain Solutions, we work closely with your rheumatologist to help manage the pain and inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis. While your rheumatologist oversees disease-modifying therapies, our team provides targeted anti-inflammatory injections, nerve blocks, and may assist with the management of non-rheumatologic pain medications to help control symptoms between flares. Our collaborative approach focuses on reducing pain, improving function, and supporting your overall quality of life.
