Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease that typically affects people’s joints, but can affect other areas as well. If the condition goes untreated, some people may experience issues connected to their skin, eye sight, heart, and blood vessels. RA affects the outer lining of your joints, which can cause your joints to swell up and cause damage to your bones or even deformities if left untreated. 

What Are the Symptoms? 

Symptoms of RA are generally easy to identify and should be treated quickly if the pain persists or worsens. Here are some signs and symptoms of RA: 

  • Joints that feel tender, swollen, or warm to the touch. 
  • Joint stiffness that is at its worst in the mornings or after exercise. 
  • Fever, loss of appetite, fatigue. 

Most people with early signs of RA experience pain or stiffness in their smaller joints such as the bones in your fingers and toes. As the disease goes untreated, however, it can spread to your wrists, neck, knees, ankles, elbows, and hip. 

There are also some people (less than half of those with RA) who experience symptoms on non-joint related parts of the body, including: 

  • Skin 
  • Eyes 
  • Lungs 
  • Heart 
  • Kidneys 
  • Nerve Tissue 
  • Bone Marrow 

What Are My Treatment Options? 

Currently, there is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, but treatment options are evolving rapidly. Traditional approaches such as medications, therapy, and surgery aim to reduce symptoms and slow disease progression. However, one of the most promising developments in recent years is stem cell therapy. 

Stem Cell Therapy for Rheumatoid Arthritis 

Stem cell therapy is an advanced treatment that harnesses the body’s natural healing ability to repair damaged tissues and regulate immune system function. Since RA is an autoimmune condition that causes the immune system to attack healthy joints, stem cells may help by “resetting” immune responses, reducing inflammation, and protecting joint structures from further damage. 

Potential benefits of stem cell therapy for RA include: 

  • Reduction of joint inflammation and pain 
  • Protection against ongoing joint damage 
  • Improvement in mobility and quality of life 
  • Possible long-term remission in some patients 

Research suggests that stem cell therapy may be especially beneficial for patients who have not responded well to conventional medications or who wish to explore alternatives to surgery.
