What are the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis?

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by systemic joint inflammation caused by beta-hemolytic streptococcal infection, which is mainly manifested as redness, swelling, fever, and pain in the affected joints. Rheumatoid arthritis arthralgia typically presents with migratory arthralgia, which mainly affects large joints throughout the body and can occur in one or more joints at the same time. When the redness, swelling and pain in one joint disappears, other joints may appear, and severe patients may have muscle aches and even fever in some cases.

In general, the prognosis of rheumatoid arthritis is better, usually after 2-3 months, joint swelling and pain can be reduced or disappeared without sequelae, which is significantly different from rheumatoid arthritis.

Subject, rheumatoid arthritis can bring painful sensations. There are so many joints in the human body, and if there is cold and dampness, there will be pain. My uncle used to suffer from wrist pain.

As a laborer who mainly does manual work, he has been working outdoors for many months, and he has been exposed to wind for a long time, and often has continuous rainy days, so that the clammy and cold evil qi enters his body and he gets rheumatism. At that time, his wrist joint hurt so badly that he couldn't even do simple household chores at home. Later, I used Tianhe Chasing Wind Ointment, which is suitable for joint pain caused by wind, cold and dampness, and also used a hot melt adhesive matrix with good air permeability, and my uncle applied it for a few days as required, and the pain was gradually relieved.

Rheumatoid arthritis is more common in large joints such as knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, and wrists, and is characterized by redness, swelling, burning, muscle wandering soreness, and pain, which can be transferred from one joint to another. In addition to arthritis, typical manifestations include fever, myocarditis, erythema annula, subcutaneous nodules, and chorea.
