Any information would be great – I was diagnosed yesterday and the dr said it was inflammatory arthritis, but also mentioned rheumatoid arthritis and I’m not sure if it’s the same or if one causes the other. Thanks!

I have had kidney problems and chronic kidney disease, which even led to me being hospitalized for it in the past. Shortly after, I developed various inflammations, which can be associated with rheumatoid arthritis. I am barely 23, and neither disease run in my family. Recently, a drug I once used was linked to causing kidney problems, among other things. I’m curious if I can hold them responsible for causing my joint problems as well.

I took 4mg of diazepam because I had to give a presentation in school (yes I’m in high school and have rheumatoid arthritis, it sucks) and I had almost no joint pain that day! I know people who take diazepam for anxiety take like 40 mg a day so I know my pain didn’t go away because I was calmed down. So I was wondering because diazepam is a muscle relaxant did that have anything to do with it?

I have to do a research paper in medical terminology and I decided I would write about my mom’s rheumatoid arthritis. In the research paper I am supposed to pretend that I am a reporter discussing a disease. I wanted to interview my mother about it, but what would be some good questions to ask her about it?

rheumatoid arthritis is a disease caused in part by this organelle. when it becomes leaky, it releases digestive enzymes that normally digest waste products and other materials. if released into the cell, these enzymes degrade cartlidge in joints.
