Usually rheumatoid arthritis cannot be cured by exercise. According to the changes of rheumatoid arthritis, it can be divided into three stages: acute stage, remission stage and recovery stage. In the acute stage of rheumatoid arthritis, exercise will not relieve the disease, but may aggravate the pain symptoms and even cause joint deformity. In the remission and recovery phases of rheumatoid arthritis, the symptoms of joint discomfort will be relatively reduced, and at this time, you can exercise under the guidance of a physician in order to maintain joint function. However, exercise can only moderately improve the discomfort of joint disorder and stiffness, but it cannot treat rheumatoid arthritis at its root. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that manifests itself in the form of joint swelling, pain and stiffness. There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, but only medications such as methotrexate, physical therapy such as ultrasound, and surgery such as joint replacement can slow down the progression of the disease. If symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis appear, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to complete the relevant examinations to clarify the diagnosis, and cooperate with the physician to carry out targeted treatment in order to control the disease and improve the quality of life.
