What is migratory pain? Beware of rheumatoid arthritis

Some middle-aged and elderly people always have symptoms of migratory pain throughout the body, especially at night when the pain is unbearable and they cannot sleep. According to experts, we need to be cautious about rheumatoid arthritis, which is closely related to genetics, environment, infection and other factors, and must be actively treated and prevented.

1. Causes

The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is still unclear, but it is generally believed to be closely related to genetic, environmental, and infectious factors.

The main factors that cause rheumatoid arthritis are genetics, infection, immunity and sex hormone differences. Environmental quality, chemical fibers, hair dyeing and other factors can also induce rheumatoid arthritis. Weather changes will not induce joint pain. Patients who feel joint pain on rainy days are just affected by their own psychological suggestions.

2. Prevention

1. Take medicine regularly and go to the doctor every month

Rheumatoid arthritis cannot be completely cured, it can only be relieved and requires lifelong treatment. If the patient feels that the symptoms have improved, the dosage can be reduced appropriately, but the medication cannot be stopped. Once the medication is stopped, the disease will recur. Many patients are resistant to taking hormone drugs, but hormones have a certain alleviating effect on rheumatoid arthritis, and can prevent infection, and reduce inflammation and swelling. Although there are now drugs to replace hormones, they are expensive and not all patients can afford them. Hormones are suitable for all patients, and their side effects can be alleviated and suppressed. Experts recommend using traditional Chinese medicine for easy treatment. The effect is better.

2. Eat right and exercise properly

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis should reduce their meat intake, eat more vegetables and fruits, and eat less spicy food to avoid increasing the burden on the stomach. You can take in appropriate amount of protein to enhance your immunity. Pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking to protect the liver's metabolic function.

Moderate exercise is beneficial to improving immunity, but the intensity of exercise should be moderate. Long-term walking and dancing are not good for joints. When exercising, choose a softer surface and be moderate and avoid overexerting yourself.
