If rheumatoid arthritis is not managed, health complications can occur.
One such example is carpal tunnel syndrome whereby the median nerve is compressed, leading to aching, numbness, or tingling in the hand.
The inflammatory condition could lead to further inflammation in blood vessels, the lungs, the heart, and the eyes.
Rheumatoid arthritis could put you at increased risk of:
- Pulmonary fibrosis
- Pericarditis
- Sjögren’s syndrome
- Vasculitis
- Cardiovascular disease.
