Rheumatioid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that affects connective tissues anywhere in the body. It typically occurs in cycles where it flares up for a while and then disappears, only to pop up somewhere else later on. When rheumatiod arthritis flares up, it causes inflammation of tissues the body mistakes for a foreign body. Rheumatoid arthritis can destroy connective tissues when it flares up, so some effects can be long-lasting.
The inflammation, which is probably the reason for the bulging, is likely to dissipate sooner or later; however, the swelling can put pressure on the optic nerve, and cause blindness or vision loss if the problem persists too long. There's no way to guess what will happen. Hopefully, the doctor is aggressively doing everything possible to reduce inflammation including use of steroids.

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!

Yes, I've just been diagnosed with arthritis of the eye. It was red, felt swollen to me, and it hurt. My opthalmologist gave me restasis to take care of the dryness, which is also an autoimmune disease, just like rheumatoid arthritis is.
