Tenderness and symmetrical joint swelling is characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis. Swelling of the PIP and MCP joints of the hands is a common early finding. Wrists, elbows, knees, ankles and MTP are other joints commonly affected. There is joint stiffness and the range of motion of the joint is limited. Apart from this there is fever, weakness, weight loss and fatigue.
