Pain is the most problematic symptom for people with rheumatoid arthritis but they may also feel tired and generally unwell. These symptoms can be difficult for other people to understand. For some sufferers, symptoms may be fairly mild and not interfere too much with their usual daily life and work. For others, the symptoms may be more severe and they may find it difficult to get around and perform everyday tasks such as dressing or bathing. Work, relationships and emotional state can all be affected. Lifestyle changes, physiotherapy and occupational therapy can help overcome some of these difficulties.
