Rheumatoid Arthritis And Common Signs Of Old Age

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Rheumatoid arthritis causes inflammation of joints and tendons, which can put pressure on nerves and cause a tingling, numb, or burning sensation in your hands known as carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome or experience a mild tingling sensation in your hands, it may be a sign of rheumatoid arthritis. There may even be a squeak or crackling noise in your joints when you move them. This occurs when damaged cartilage rubs against joints.
