Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily targets the joints, leading to significant pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function. As one of the most common forms of inflammatory arthritis, RA can severely impact a person’s quality of life if not diagnosed and treated early. The disease often begins with small joints in the hands and feet, but over time, it can spread to larger joints, causing widespread discomfort and difficulty in movement.
Key Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis include persistent joint pain, morning stiffness that lasts more than 30 minutes, and swelling in multiple joints. These symptoms can lead to joint deformities and long-term disability if left untreated. However, RA is not limited to joint damage; it can also affect other parts of the body, including the lungs, heart, blood vessels, and nerves, leading to complications such as lung disease, cardiovascular issues, and neuropathy.
Early diagnosis and treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis are crucial to managing the disease effectively and preventing irreversible joint damage. At Rheuma Ease, Navi Mumbai’s leading rheumatology clinic, we specialize in providing comprehensive care for RA. Our expert rheumatologist utilizes advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans to help patients manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis encountered in clinical practice and is a leading cause of locomotor disability, particularly in the elderly. As a degenerative joint disease, OA primarily affects the cartilage, leading to its gradual breakdown and the resulting pain and stiffness in the affected joints.
Key Characteristics of Osteoarthritis include mild morning stiffness that typically improves throughout the day, pain that worsens with joint use rather than at rest, and normal inflammatory markers, distinguishing it from other forms of arthritis. Commonly affected areas include the knees, hips, hands, and spine. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that significantly impacts daily activities and quality of life.
Managing Osteoarthritis involves a combination of lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, and, in some cases, medication or surgical interventions. At Rheuma Ease, Navi Mumbai’s leading rheumatology clinic, our expert rheumatologist provides comprehensive care for osteoarthritis.
