What areas does rhumetoid arthritis effect?

Question

Does it effect one place, many or just a couple, and usually where? Also what hurts-the bones, muscles or what?

I am experiencing pain in the wrist, hand, chest, neck, back, and a spot of my arm muscle near my elbow.

Answer 1

It can effect any of your joints, mostly commonly happens in the hands. My grandmother has it and she says it hurts bad.

Answer 2

Notice: This is not a diagnosis or a prescription...it's information. In a minute, I'll give you a way to help stop the Rheumatoid Arthritis process. First, it would be helpful if you understood what causes RA. As you probably are well aware already, rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disease. This is almost always caused by what is called "leaky gut," a far more common condition than generally realized. Steroids contribute to more of it, by the way. Other common culprits are antibiotics and birth control pills, even if they were taken years before or in early childhood. These drugs promote yeast growth. When yeast flourishes, they sprout roots that dig holes into the intestinal lining. This allows protein particles to pass through undigested. The immune system mistakes them for parasites and goes after them. But after a while, the immune system becomes over stimulated and starts attacking your body. In your case, it attacked your joints. To stop any continuation of the process, I would do at least four things.All should be done in combination or their effect is minimal. They are all available at health food stores. 1- Take PB-8 or another excellent probiotic. This prevents the yeast from coming back. 2- Take olive leaf extract or Candistroy to eliminate the bad yeast. 3- Take glutamine (5 gms 2x a day) or IntestiNew to patch the intestinal holes. 4- Take a good multi-enzyme (different from a multivitamin) to give your digestive lining a chance to get better. Do this for a month or two and you'll be amazed at how much better you feel. Good luck and be well. Kelley

Answer 3

Imagine for a moment your arthritis completely vanishing right now.

If, in a moment, your pain and stiffness melted away. And your joints all of a sudden functioned like a well-oiled machine.

Like a magic wand was waived, you'd be able to jump up from your chair and run around the room like a kid.

And imagine that you'd never have to suffer as much as a pinch of arthritis stiffness or pain ever again.

I know this sounds impossible right now, but bear with me, because sometimes miracles happen.

It was a gift from a woman on the other side of the world. From the kindness of her heart, she took pity on my suffering and taught me how to completely reverse my arthritis.

Today, I want to do the same for you!

Answer 5

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a relatively common disease of the joints. In rheumatoid arthritis, the membranes or tissues lining the joints become inflamed (synovitis). Over time, the inflammation may destroy the joint tissues, leading to disability. Rheumatoid arthritis affects women twice as often as men, and frequently begins between the ages of 40 and 60.

There are many types of arthritis (disease of the joints). Rheumatoid arthritis causes inflammation of the synovial membrane of the joints. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis affects young children.
