Rheumatoid arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease with symmetrical, polyarthritic manifestations, mainly affecting the small joints of the hands and feet (e.g., interphalangeal fingers, wrists, etc.). The prevalence rate of the disease in China is 0.3%, and the number of patients is about 4-5 million. Women are more common than men, about 3:1, and middle-aged women are more common. The disease can develop at any age, with a peak age of 20-60 years. The main symptoms of P. aeruginosa are joint swelling, joint pain and pressure, and limited joint movement. When a patient wakes up in the morning or after a period of inactivity, stiffness in the affected joints occurs and movement is limited, called “morning stiffness”. In severe cases, the stiffness may be felt all over the body, and the symptoms may be relieved or disappear after getting up and moving or warming up. As the disease progresses, the shoulder, elbow, knee, ankle, and hip joints will be involved one after another. If you have rheumatoid arthritis, you should go to the rheumatology department of a hospital. There are many new drugs that are effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, and they should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and regular follow-up visits should be made to assess the condition and adjust the medication in a timely manner. In addition, patients can also carry out some self-therapy, such as rehabilitation exercises and diet therapy. The following self-therapies are recommended for patients with wind-like disease: a. Scientific rehabilitation exercises In the acute stage of arthritis, bed rest is the mainstay, and appropriate activities can be done after the symptoms are relieved; after the inflammation is relieved, attention should be paid to reducing the intensity of labor, daily therapeutic exercises, strengthening nutrition, and paying attention to the treatment of chronic infection.
