CreakyJoints -- http://creakyjoints.org -- was proud to help sponsor a video series examining ways to improve one's life despite a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is unlike the more commonly known osteoarthritis, a deterioration of joints due to wear-and-tear. RA is an autoimmune disease in which the body attacks itself, primarily in joints, and can strike at any age. The pain is excruciating, and the bodily deformations caused can be debilitating.What is RA? How is it treated? How do I talk to my doctor about it? In this segment, Deborah Norville interviews Dr. W. Hayes Wilson, Chief of Rheumatology, Piedmont Hospital.
