Rheumatism, from a Western medical perspective, is a general term for a large group of diseases called rheumatic diseases. Rheumatic diseases, are a group of chronic diseases that involve the bones and joints and surrounding soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons, synovial membranes, ligaments, cartilage, and other related tissues and organs. Rheumatic diseases contain ten major groups and more than 100 diseases. There are many causes of rheumatic diseases and the pathogenesis of some is unknown, but many are closely related to autoimmune reactions. In clinical practice, the occurrence of rheumatic diseases can be related to immune reactions, genetic factors, infections, and environmental factors. If certain people experience joint discomfort, muscle pain, prolonged fever, and in some cases, skin color changes or even breakouts, it is important to consider whether the symptoms are due to rheumatic diseases. When a patient develops the above symptoms, he or she should seek medical attention in a timely manner and use tests such as routine examinations, serological examinations, joint fluid examinations, as well as with imaging examinations, as a basis for diagnostic reference to determine the specific type of disease. Depending on the type of disease and the severity of the disease, treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, adrenal corticosteroids, slow-acting anti-rheumatic drugs, etc. should be used under the guidance of the doctor, and if necessary, surgical treatment should be taken to relieve the disease.
