warm feeling of affected joint

please enlighten me on the indication of the warmth of the affected joint. i understand that this is a symptom of an inflammation.  lately,the warm feeling of all my affected joints disappeared? what does it mean?

tks

You're correct, warmth is a sign of inflammtaion...but it can be subtle.  Some people have joints that are burninig hot to touch, others just barely warmer than the rest of the body's temperature.  Others even feel the heat & warmth "inside" the joint and really nothing objective such as heat to touch on the skin.

Going by warmth alone isn't sign enough of detecting inflammation.  Warmth, even if subtle, plus redness & pain can equal inflammation of RA joints.

So you're saying tha your joints have no increased temperature?  Are you having symptoms such as pain in the joints?

RA can be active yet the skin around the joint still can remain cool on touch.

Take care,
