Namaste. Rheumatoid arthritis is a serious condition that needs professional medical diagnosis. A rheumatologist is the specialist who can diagnose it, usually through blood tests for specific markers and evaluating your symptoms. While yoga can help with joint flexibility, a medical diagnosis is essential first.

For something as specific as rheumatoid arthritis, you need to see a rheumatologist. They are the experts for autoimmune joint conditions. They'll do blood tests like CRP, ESR, RF, and anti-CCP antibodies, plus physical examination. Home remedies won't be enough for diagnosis; get it confirmed by a doctor.

I was just looking this up because my aunt mentioned some joint pain. Rheumatoid arthritis is diagnosed by a rheumatologist. They're specialists in joints, muscles, and autoimmune diseases. They'll do blood tests like RF factor and anti-CCP, and check your joints. It seems like a detailed process.
