The subtle warning sign in your fingers for rheumatoid arthritis!

The symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis can be very painful, but it’s also easy to mistake them for something less serious.

In some cases, symptoms of inflammation can spread to other parts of the body, including the lungs or heart.

One of the main warning signs of the disease includes unexplained numbness of the fingers.

And some arthritis patients may experience tingling in their fingers, according to Healthline.

The disease results from inflammation of the tendons, which has been linked to rheumatoid arthritis.

The inflammation puts additional pressure on the nerves of the fingers, which later causes a feeling of numbness.

Pressure on the nerves can also lead to burning pain in the hands of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This can cause numbness, tingling, or a burning sensation in the hands, called carpal tunnel syndrome.

But just because you develop numb fingers doesn’t mean you have rheumatoid arthritis.

It can also be due to diabetes, carpal tunnel or even pinched nerves.
