In clinic, many people with rheumatoid arthritis first notice subtle changes—not sudden, severe pain—but reduced dexterity in the hands.
When joint pain presents as acute, repeated flare-ups, gout or a high uric acid-related condition should be considered in clinical assessment.
Over time, everyday movements such as lifting the arms to brush the hair or carrying objects may also become harder.
