Hey, don't worry too much. If you are noticing morning stiffness in your small hand joints, just book an appointment with a rheumatologist. They will do simple blood tests like RA factor and Anti-CCP to find out.

An anti-inflammatory vegetarian diet is good for general joint health, but it cannot replace medical diagnostics. For rheumatoid arthritis, you must get specific autoimmune blood panels done by a qualified rheumatologist.

Don't waste time on random remedies. Book a Saturday morning slot with a rheumatologist and get your RA factor, Anti-CCP, and X-rays done in one go to get a clear diagnosis.
