The symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) primarily include:
- **Joints that become hot, red, swollen, and inflamed**: This is one of the hallmark symptoms of RA, characterized by inflammation in the joints, leading to pain and swelling.
Other common symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis can include:
- Morning stiffness lasting for more than 30 minutes
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Fever
- Weight loss
- Symmetrical joint involvement (affecting the same joints on both sides of the body)
It's important to note that while RA can cause changes in joint mobility and may lead to joint damage over time, the symptoms you've described as "joints that become cold, blue, swollen, and stiff" or "joints that no longer move" are not typical symptoms of RA. RA can also cause joint laxity in some cases, but this is not a primary characteristic of the disease.
If you suspect you or someone else may have rheumatoid arthritis, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
