What are the symptoms of rheumatism?

  Rheumatic diseases (rheumaticdiseases) are lesions of joints and peri-articular soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments, caused by various causes and characterized by inflammation, metabolic disorders, and hypofunction.  The term rheumatism refers to chronic pain that occurs in joints, soft tissues around joints, muscles, and bone. Patients usually experience joint pain, inability to flex and extend or unfavorable flexion and extension, and may be accompanied by fever, headache, bad wind, and a feeling of heaviness in the body. In addition to pain on joint disease, the majority of patients will experience swelling and impaired movement of the joints, alternating between episodes and remissions. Patients with rheumatism have poor blood circulation and lack of nutrients in muscles or tissues due to ischemia, so patients’ muscles will accelerate aging and become stiff, or even muscle atrophy, and patients in advanced stages will suffer from joint disability and failure of internal organs.  Rheumatic diseases mostly involve joints, and if they are not treated properly and reasonably, they can be disabling and life-threatening at a later stage, so they should be treated actively in the early stage after symptoms are detected. The disease is mostly chronic, so the treatment should be symptomatic in the acute stage, and in the chronic remission stage, the cause of the disease should be treated, and attention should be paid to joint maintenance.
