As the knowledge of rheumatism is not widespread and the development of a short period of time, few professional doctors, we have a lot of misconceptions about it, some of the common diagnostic and treatment misconceptions encountered in the work to share with you. 1, wet disease is an ancient and young discipline, as early as the history of the third century BC “Hippocrates” recorded the word “Rheuma” means flow, and then Western medicine into China after the “Rheumatism” translated as Rheumatism” was translated as “rheumatism” after Western medicine was introduced to China. After the nineteenth century, with the development of molecular biology, immunology, genetics opened up a new era of rheumatology, but the development of rheumatology in China is slower, in the late 1960s sprouted, the 1970s started, in 1982 the Sino-British Rheumatology Conference (the first meeting), 1985 Chinese Rheumatology Association, 1988 China joined the International League Against Rheumatism. 2, rheumatism is a group of musculoskeletal system diseases mainly treated by internal medicine, which includes a large group of diseases affecting bones, joints and their surrounding soft tissues, such as muscles, bursae, tendons, fascia, etc.. It involves a wide range of diseases, including connective tissue diseases, spondyloarthropathies, degenerative or metabolic osteoarthropathies and infectious arthritis. So usually we have joint and muscle pains that belong to the general premise of rheumatism, but rheumatism is a large range of a large group of diseases, of which each disease treatment plan varies and requires a clear diagnosis based on individual differences to develop different treatment plans. 3, because of the limited understanding, so we know rheumatic diseases only include rheumatic fever and rheumatoid arthritis, which is one-sided, rheumatic diseases are divided into 10 categories, more than 100 kinds. Commonly, there are also systemic lupus erythematosus, dry syndrome, osteoarthritis, gout, ankylosing spondylitis and other diseases. 4, rheumatism because of its classification more, its pathogenesis varies, but the classical rheumatism is mostly caused by immune response, so some people think that the body is windy, or in the cold and wet environment to get rheumatism is a misconception, but rheumatism patients often have such feelings, when it rains on a cloudy day or in a damp and cold place will feel symptoms significantly aggravated, this is because cold and wet is the triggering or aggravation of rheumatism This is because cold and humidity are the triggering or aggravating factors of rheumatism, but the abnormal function of the body’s immune system is the root. Therefore, rheumatism patients should pay attention to avoid cold and damp triggers while receiving regular treatment. 5, in life, we often see that most elderly people have symptoms of back pain, so it is a misconception that only the elderly suffer from rheumatism. Because there are many kinds of rheumatic diseases, the common age of onset of each disease varies, so not only the elderly, people of different ages including children can suffer from rheumatic diseases, and serious rheumatic diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc. are more common in young adults. 6, rheumatism disease condition estimation. Traditional rheumatic diseases are mostly systemic diseases, involving more systems, and because the pathogenesis is not yet very clear, the lack of curative treatment, so some people think that rheumatic disease is immortal cancer, pessimism, loss of confidence in the treatment of the disease, to the point of talking about rheumatism and change, not active medical treatment, with the treatment, the result is only delayed treatment and miss the best, effective treatment period. To make the disease further deterioration, development, increase the degree of disability. In fact, most rheumatic diseases have effective treatment methods, active medical care, adhere to treatment, most patients can control the development of the disease. There are also overly optimistic people who think that joint, back and leg pain does not affect the food, does not affect the wear. It is not a big disease, the pain is strong, eat some painkillers can only stop the pain even, this idea is not allowed, rheumatism is a progressive disease, rheumatism, if not treated in a timely manner to make the disease progress. Finally, rheumatism deteriorates step by step, leading to disability and even life threatening.
