Minor joint swelling

Are your joints bigger than normal? If yes, then you might be suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Mild inflammation that appears in your joints is often associated with RA. This type of joint swelling can last anywhere from a couple of days to several weeks.

Doctors warn us that this early sign of RA increases with time, so it’s best to seek medical help as soon as you spot it.

Fever

While nowadays fever can mean anything, including COVID-19 (read more about it here!), you can also add rheumatoid arthritis to the list. However, it order to call your doctor, you should make sure that it is accompanied by the following symptoms first:

  • Joint pain
  • Inflammation
  • Joint stiffness

Keep in mind that fever caused by RA is actually a low-grade one. If you’re dealing with a fever higher than 100°F, it could be something else.
