Is rheumatoid arthritis a chronic condition?

Question

My mother-in-law was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. The doctor mentioned something about it being a long-term problem. I was wondering, is rheumatoid arthritis a chronic condition?

Rajesh Gupta · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is a chronic condition, meaning it stays with you long-term. Just like I manage my diabetes with strict diet control and regular medicine, RA also requires lifelong management and avoiding inflammatory foods.
