4 seemingly unrelated symptoms are actually arthritis

Báo Thanh niênBáo Thanh niên05/03/2025


Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy body tissues, especially the synovial membranes of the joints. The result is inflammation, swelling, pain and stiffness, which can cause permanent joint damage if not treated promptly, according to the health website Verywell Health (USA).

Rheumatoid arthritis can cause unexplained weight loss and numbness and tingling in the hands and feet.

Therefore, patients with rheumatoid arthritis not only face joint pain but also suffer from the effects throughout the body. Many patients experience early symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. However, these symptoms seem unrelated to the arthritis, leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment. These symptoms include:

Persistent fatigue

Feeling tired all the time despite getting enough rest and sleeping 7-8 hours a day can be due to rheumatoid arthritis. This condition is not just tired but almost exhausted, greatly affecting daily activities.

Unexplained weight loss

Unexplained weight loss is a decrease in body weight that is not due to diet, exercise or any other deliberate weight loss efforts. It is a warning sign of many diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis.

This is because chronic inflammation in the joints speeds up metabolism and reduces appetite, eventually causing unintentional weight loss. Experts say this is a sign of the disease that is often overlooked because it is not considered serious.

Tingling and numbness in hands and feet

Rheumatoid arthritis causes inflammation in the joints. The inflammation can compress nerves, causing carpal tunnel syndrome, for example. Symptoms of a compressed nerve include tingling and numbness in the limbs.

Red eyes

Rheumatoid arthritis can also cause red, dry eyes and sensitivity to light. In severe cases, rheumatoid arthritis can also cause inflammation of the sclera, the white part of the eye.

If you experience one of these symptoms, especially a combination of two or more, you should not be subjective and should see a doctor for examination. Early treatment will help the disease improve better, improving the quality of life, according to Verywell Health .
