Joint Pain
Joint pain is probably one of the most common and earliest symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. You would feel this sensation especially when you bend the affected parts. This is because the condition leads to the accumulation of fluids in your joints, which breaks down the cartilage. Therefore, bones might grind against each other and cause pain or damage. At the same time, these joints would feel warm and tender even when you do not use or bend them. Joint pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis tends to occur in the feet, wrists, and fingers. [2]
