Rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive illness that can cause potential joint destruction or can accelerate functional disability apart from being referred to as systematic illness.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that causes inflammation of the joints. Apart from the joints it can also cause inflammation of the tissue around the joint as well as other organs of the body. These autoimmune diseases are caused when the body's tissues are attacked by their own immune system by mistake. Rheumatoid arthritis is a non curable illness which can continue for years together. Rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive illness that can cause potential joint destruction or can accelerate functional disability apart from being referred to as systematic illness.
 
The symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis includes swelling, pain, stiffness, and redness in the joints. The inflammation due to rheumatoid arthritis on the tissue around the joints causes inflammation in the tendons, ligaments, and muscles.
