Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory arthritis. Three times as many women are affected as men in the UK. It is a condition that gets progressively worse throughout life, and commonly has a symmetrical pattern of joints affected. Characteristically, rheumatoid arthritis gives morning stiffness that lasts more than one hour and painful swellings of hand joints and other joints.
