Living with rheumatoid arthritis
Description
Rheumatoid arthritis can ravage the human body if not treated in time, but there is good news. This program explores medical innovations that are improving the quality of life for patients with advanced RA. Case studies profile patients who have resumed active lives after struggling with pain and fatigue for years. Renowned RA experts-including Dr. Steven Paget of Cornell University's Weill School of Medicine and Dr. Alvin Wells, director of the Rheumatology and Immunotherapy Center in Oak Creek, Wisconsin-explain the use of TNF alpha inhibitors and groundbreaking MRI and ultrasound applications that are helping to fight the battle against RA.
