You can still touch water with rheumatoid arthritis, but it is not recommended to touch cool water too much.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease with erosive, symmetrical arthritis as its main manifestation, which may cause joint swelling and pain, morning stiffness and other symptoms, and some patients may have pericarditis, pulmonary interstitial lesions and other extra-articular manifestations. Rheumatoid arthritis patients are allowed to touch water, but should avoid excessive exposure to cool water, which may lead to aggravation or recurrence of joint symptoms.
In addition, patients should rest more when the joints are swollen and painful, and joint braking can be used in the acute stage, and appropriate functional exercises can be carried out after relief. Meanwhile, standardized medication under the guidance of a doctor can effectively control the condition and slow down the progression of the disease.
Rheumatoid arthritis patients are advised to go to the rheumatology and immunology department of the hospital for consultation and standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor, so as not to delay the condition.
