I'm Seo Chang-hee, a rheumatologist. Today, I'll be talking about the symptoms and treatments of rheumatoid arthritis. ◇ Voice Actor Park Sang-hoon: Rheumatoid arthritis, a condition that worsens in cold winds. More than 75% of all cases occur in women in their late 50s. Neither the cause nor the prevention of rheumatoid arthritis is known.

However, if this immune system malfunctions, these immune cells attack our bodies. Attacking the skin can lead to a rash, and attacking the joints can lead to inflammation.
