"My joints hurt when it rains, it's even more accurate than the weather forecast!" I guess everyone has heard this from their elders many times. Do you know about rheumatism? Rheumatism is a group of diseases that mainly affect joints, bones, muscles, blood vessels and related soft tissues or connective tissues, most of which are autoimmune diseases. In other words, rheumatism is a disease that affects bones, joints and surrounding soft tissues. Diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus are all included in the term rheumatism. Morning stiffness, irregular fever, swollen and painful joints, dry mouth, abnormal skin and mucous membranes, and Raynaud's phenomenon are all common symptoms of rheumatism. Generally speaking, morning stiffness lasts longer. When rheumatic disease occurs, symptoms such as swollen and painful joints may also occur. In severe cases, it may even lead to joint deformities or Raynaud's phenomenon. Speaking of rheumatism, it is like a "sea king", and some inflammations seem to be related to it. But there is one thing Dongdongmiao knows, it is divided into two categories: One is what we think of as "normal rheumatic disease", with arthritis symptoms as the main manifestation, such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc. The other type is caused by the impact on the autoimmune system, which is mainly caused by the impact on various internal organs. The causes of rheumatism may be related to nutritional metabolic disorders, immunity, genetics, and infection. There are many causes of rheumatic diseases, which are generally the result of the combined action of multiple factors. The final result may be immune dysfunction, which promotes the occurrence of the disease. Some patients with metabolic gouty arthritis may also develop osteoporosis as they get older, which is also the cause of rheumatic disease. When the weather is windy and rainy, patients with rheumatoid joint disease will receive a "signal" and be forced to act as "weather stations." When rheumatism invades, the diseased tissue cannot discharge fluid with the changes in the weather, resulting in higher pressure in the local cells of the joint than in the surrounding tissues, causing local aggravation and swelling. This is why rheumatism can predict the weather. Previous studies have shown that patients with rheumatism will experience discomfort in their joints one day before the weather changes, with the knee joints feeling the greatest pain, followed by the wrist joints and the joints between fingers. Therefore, what patients with rheumatism hate most is rainy days. Want to escape the clutches of rheumatism? I advise you to put on long johns in winter.
