Rheumatism is a very broad concept, and rheumatism is a large group of diseases, like heart or lung disease, which includes many types. In general, all diseases that affect bones, muscles and other connective tissues are called rheumatism, including a group of diseases with arthritis as the main manifestation, such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis; It also includes a group of diseases that involve the whole body, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome, and scleroderma. How do you know if it's rheumatism?

The first thing to understand is the common symptoms of rheumatism, which is pain in the joints and muscles, which is common in most patients with rheumatism, but there are also patients with rheumatism who do not have these clinical manifestations and may present with visceral involvement. If the patient has more than one medical condition, such as both lung and heart disease, for which other causes cannot be explained, rheumatology may also be considered. Therefore, rheumatism is a disease that affects the bones and joints, or it may be a disease that occurs at the same time with more than two diseases, but cannot be explained by other causes.

There are many aspects to the examination of rheumatism, and one of the most important tests is the detection of autoantibodies. The reason behind most diseases of rheumatism is autoimmunity, which leads to the onset of the disease and produces some autoantibodies, which are a means to help diagnose well. For rheumatism, it may be that the statements of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are not the same, and the rheumatism mentioned in Western medicine currently includes 15 categories and more than 100 diseases, most of which have nothing to do with wind and dampness.
