An autoimmune disease in which the immune system of the body attacks it's own tissues, it's own cartilage and joint linings?
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Signs/symptoms: inflammation of the synovial membrane. Inflammation, which causes swelling, pain, and loss of function. Usually occurs bilaterally. Distortion of the fingers occur from growth of the granulation tissue?
