Rheumatoid vs. Osteoarthritis: Understanding Differences in Symptoms and Care
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) are two common yet distinct forms of arthritis, each with unique causes, symptoms, and treatment approaches. RA is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks joint tissues, often leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness in multiple joints, especially in the hands and feet. OA, on the other hand, results from the gradual breakdown of cartilage due to wear and tear, typically affecting weight-bearing joints like knees and hips.
