Case management for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Mary was in her mid-20s when a long day of shopping made her feet hurt so much that she sought the care of a podiatrist. Radiographs showed no abnormalities in her bones, so it was not until several months later, when her hands became swollen and painful, that she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by her primary care physician.
