What are the manifestations of rheumatism

Symptom 1: pain: the location of the pain helps to determine whether the pain comes from a joint lesion. It is necessary to distinguish the pain caused by local lesions from that caused by systemic lesions.

Symptom 2: stiffness: morning stiffness. This kind of situation is mainly manifested as the sticky stiffness of joints after getting up in the morning or resting for a long time, which can be relieved or disappeared after activity. Morning stiffness is the most prominent in rheumatoid arthritis, which can last for several hours, while the duration of other arthritis is shorter.

Symptom 3: fatigue: fatigue refers to the decline or loss of muscle strength. Because fatigue often appears with other symptoms, such as pain, morning stiffness, fatigue, etc., patients sometimes can not distinguish what is fatigue. When the patient is unable to complete walking, chewing, swallowing and other movements, the patient will find that they have fatigue symptoms. Whether fatigue is symmetrical, axial or peripheral distribution is very useful for the differential diagnosis of diseases.
