Numbness
The inflammation of joints in rheumatoid arthritis would place a lot of pressure and tension on the nerves. As a result, you would feel tingling or numbness around the affected areas, such as feet and hands. It might lead to the loss of sensation after a few weeks. This condition is also known as carpal tunnel syndrome. In some severe cases, the joints might even generate a crackling or squeaking noise when damaged cartilages grind against your joints during movements. [8]
