Some patients with rheumatoid disease don't think much of it in the early stage of illness, which leads to more and more serious situation. What is the harm of rheumatoid disease? Let me give you an analysis!

Harm of rheumatoid arthritis

First of all, rheumatoid diseases are indeed harmful. In addition to joint diseases, the systemic manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis include fever, fatigue, pericarditis, subcutaneous nodules, pleurisy, arteritis, peripheral neuropathy, etc. Rheumatoid arthritis in the broad sense includes not only the inflammatory lesions in the joints, but also the extensive lesions in the whole body.

Secondly, rheumatoid lesions are mainly synovial inflammation, leading to more and more inconvenient movement, and produce granulation tissue rich in blood vessels, destroy articular cartilage, for a long time, so that the upper and lower joint surfaces are fused together, resulting in joint ankylosis. Due to the swelling and pain of the joint and limited movement, the muscles near the joint can be stiff and atrophy.

Best, if rheumatoid arthritis is serious, it will cause ankylosis and deformity of joints, rigidity and atrophy of muscles, which can cause different degrees of disability. Finally, the range of motion of joints is obviously limited, and even the joints can not move. Finally, the patient completely loses the ability to work.

matters needing attention

For patients with rheumatism, they should strengthen exercise, enhance their physical quality, fundamentally prevent rheumatism, and often take part in physical exercises, such as health gymnastics, qigong, Taijiquan, radio gymnastics, walking, etc. Avoid the invasion of wind, cold and dampness: spring is the time when everything germinates, and it is also the season of rheumatoid arthritis. Therefore, we should prevent cold, rain and damp, and pay attention to keeping warm at joints.
