How Does Rheumatoid Arthritis Start
I was wondering how the symptons of rheumatoid arthritis manifest. For the past few months, I have been having discomfort in my knees. The pain is minimal, and I can still live a normal life. However, in the back of my mind, I always wonder if there is a greater reason behind this pain. The reason this bothers me is because my mother has rheumatoid and suffers greatly from it, so I know that I am genetically predisposed to it. If anyone on here suffers from RA, please detail how the disease manifested?
Also, I hear that a bacterial or viral infection usually starts the disease? Did you find that to be true? Because, for me, these joint symptons worsened after a salmonella poisoning that I had a few months ago.
