Better to consult a rheumatologist in lieu of online session as every patient has individual problems , symptoms and deformities.

Hi..... Over time, rheumatoid arthritis symptoms can affect bone health and cause erosion and even deformity of joints. ... Remission occurs when inflammation is inactive and no signs of progressive joint damage continue. Ideally in remission, the patient will no longer experience chronic pain. Imaging Tests Used in Prognosis.... Consult your Physician, instead of online sessions.....
