For patients with rheumatoid arthritis, he should go to the regular hospital for treatment in time. Next, I'd like to talk about some symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

Performance 1: early red, swelling, heat, pain and dysfunction, late joint can appear varying degrees of stiffness and deformity, and bone and skeletal muscle atrophy, is a high disability rate of disease.

Performance 2: in addition to the above manifestations of arthritis, patients can also have other systemic manifestations, such as fever, fatigue, weight loss, subcutaneous nodules, pericarditis, pleurisy, peripheral neuropathy, eye lesions, arteritis, etc.

Performance 3: the most common joint deformities are ankylosis of wrist and elbow, subluxation of metacarpophalangeal joint, ulnar deviation of fingers, swan neck and buttonhole pattern. Severe patients have fibrous or bony ankylosis of the joint, and lose joint function due to muscle atrophy and spasm around the joint, resulting in inability to take care of themselves.
