6. Ignoring symptoms and delaying treatment
Early detection of rheumatoid arthritis is essential to prevent irreparable joint damage. It is known that the vast majority of the damage occurs within the first two years of the disease, so the sooner you start treatment to slow down the progression of the condition, the better. In most cases, when the treatment starts at an early stage, joint damage is preventable. Contact your doctor as soon as you notice some of the first symptoms of this disease. It makes a huge difference!
