Diagnosis and Management of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis may be both a blessing and a curse. A blessing to know what is causing the fatigue and pain and a curse because at present it still requires lifelong treatment. The good news is that there are good treatments that can control the disease and prevent progression to permanent damage. Dr Racunica will use patient cases, to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
