What about rheumatism itching?

Rheumatism and rheumatism have some similarities, such as wind-cold-dampness and joint pain, but they are essentially different, and rheumatism has a wide meaning.

First of all, the reasons are different:

Rheumatism is caused by pathogenic factors such as wind, cold and dampness, which does not involve the heart and destroys bones. Most of them can be cured. A small number of rheumatic fever patients are caused by streptococcus infection, while rheumatoid disease is an autoimmune disease. Although it is not a genetic disease, it may be related to genetic factors, mostly occurring in women aged 20 ~ 40.

Second, pathology.

The pathological basis of rheumatoid arthritis is synovitis and vasculitis. Rheumatism has no clear pathological basis.

Third, the symptoms are different

Rheumatoid joints generally do not deform, involving large joints. Rheumatoid arthritis belongs to early symptoms, mostly joint pain, swelling, stiffness, inconvenient movement, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, repeated attacks, prolonged healing time, symmetrical swelling of finger and toe joints in the early stage, and joint deformation in the later stage. Although a few patients may have cardiovascular diseases, most patients have no cardiac symptoms.

Fourth, the diagnosis is different

Sun god

1. morning joint and its surrounding stiffness lasts at least 1h (course of disease ≥6 weeks).

More than 2.3 joints have arthritis.

3. Hand arthritis is arthritis in the wrist, metacarpal bone or proximal interphalangeal joint, and at least one joint is swollen (the course of disease is ≥6 weeks).

4. Symmetric arthritis (course ≥6 weeks)

5. Rheumatoid Nodules Doctors observed subcutaneous nodules on the surface of bony processes, extensor muscles or around joints.

6. Rheumatoid factor positive

7. Radiological changes

Rheumatoid arthritis has no diagnostic index, rheumatoid factor is negative, and there is no radiological change.

Five, the processing rules are different:

Rheumatism is not a general western medicine treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine that can dispel wind and cold, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis can often be cured quickly, while rheumatoid needs formal western medicine treatment. The dosage and side effects of western medicine can be reduced by cooperating with traditional Chinese medicine.

Sixth, after the cure.

Rheumatism can be cured, while rheumatoid disease can only be alleviated.
