    chronic autoimmune disorder causing joint inflammation and pain

    Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, leading to inflammation, pain, and swelling. Over time, this can result in joint damage, deformities, and loss of function. RA can also affect other organs and systems in the body, making it a systemic disease.
