How to deal with rheumatic pain

Rheumatic pain is a common symptom caused by rheumatism, and it causes great harm to patients with rheumatism. Rheumatism is a common disease in our human body. In reality, there are still many people suffering from rheumatism, but most of them are middle-aged and elderly patients. Among young people, the incidence of rheumatism is still relatively low, which should be related to the poor physical fitness of middle-aged and elderly people. So, what to do with rheumatic pain?

This is also the question that many patients with rheumatism want to know. Because rheumatic pain is very uncomfortable, patients with rheumatism want to cure the rheumatism as soon as possible and get rid of the rheumatic pain at the same time. In reality, there are many ways to treat rheumatic pain, but most people don’t know about them. So, let’s talk about the treatment of rheumatic pain.

Rheumatic diseases are mostly chronic diseases. The purpose of treatment is to improve the prognosis of the disease, maintain the function of joints and organs, and relieve related symptoms.

1. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment

Rheumatism often affects the joints, muscles, bones and soft tissues. Symptoms such as pain, swelling, joint dysfunction and fever are more prominent. Antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory as well as relieving symptoms are the primary goals of treating this group of diseases.

2. Treatment of the cause

If rheumatic diseases are not treated correctly and reasonably, lesions of the joints, muscles, bones, etc. will lead to functional disorders and deformities, leaving lifelong disabilities, affecting life and work, and causing economic losses to individuals and society. Judging from the tissues invaded by rheumatic diseases, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome, scleroderma, polymyositis, necrotizing vasculitis, etc., which were formerly known as connective tissue diseases, all have disorders of autoimmune function and belong to a group of autoimmune disorders. It has been clearly established that gouty arthritis is caused by a disorder in purine metabolism, which leads to the deposition of urate crystals in the joints, often affecting the joint cavity, bones, and ligaments. Therefore, in addition to symptomatic treatment to relieve symptoms, the treatment of rheumatic diseases also requires etiological treatment. Autoimmune disorders require immune regulation, such as the use of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants.

3. Biological therapy and bone marrow transplantation

Biological therapy and bone marrow transplantation have also been tried in clinical practice.

4. Arthroscopic treatment

Arthroscopic treatment can be used for joint lesions, which greatly improves the efficacy, changes the prognosis of the disease, significantly reduces the disability rate, and improves the quality of life of patients.

The methods introduced above are some common treatments for rheumatic pain, and these treatments for rheumatic pain are also the treatments commonly accepted by many rheumatic patients in hospitals. Therefore, for many rheumatic patients, these methods are still familiar to them. But most people still don’t know it. With the above introduction, everyone should have a certain understanding now.
