Symptoms:
- Sudden, recurrent attacks of joint pain and swelling.
- Inflammation, stiffness, tenderness, and pain in joints.
- Mild fever, fatigue, and nodules under the skin.
- Symptoms typically occur in the hands and feet but can affect any joint.
- Swelling can affect soft tissues, particularly the heel and finger pads.
- Symptoms disappear between episodes, and joints appear normal on X-rays during symptom-free periods.

Treatments:
- Some of the same drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are also used for PR.
- Blood tests may help identify those at greater risk of progressing to RA, especially if positive for rheumatoid factor and anti-CCP antibodies.
