Relapsing Polychondritis (RP) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by recurrent inflammation of cartilage throughout the body, including the ears, nose, joints, respiratory tract, and even the eyes. Because of its rarity, it often goes misdiagnosed or overlooked entirely in early stages, especially when symptoms come and go. Inflammation may lead to deformities, breathing issues if the trachea is involved, or progressive joint pain. For residents in Patel Nagar, accessing timely and specialized care is crucial to preventing long-term damage and maintaining daily functionality.
