Rheumatism is a chronic self-immunological disease, the main characteristic of which is joint disease. Understanding the common symptoms of these joint pathologies helps patients and their families to detect the symptoms in a timely manner and to buy valuable time for early diagnosis and effective treatment.
Symptoms are one of the most common initial symptoms of rheumatological arthritis. Pain is usually symmetrical, i.e. the same joints on both sides, such as the close finger joints, the hand finger joints, the double wrist joints, the knee joints, the ankle joints, etc. Pain may be of a variety in nature, be it blunt, swollen, stingy or indignant, and may be light at an early stage of the disease, increasing as the condition progresses. The pain tends to increase when patients move their joints, such as holding their fists, walking, up and down stairs. In addition, there is a visible corrosive pain, which can be caused by a slight pressure on the joint with the finger, which is caused by the arthritis of the joint and the haematoma of the surrounding tissue.
The swelling of the joints is also a prominent manifestation of the mutation of the rheumatological joints. The swelling usually comes with pain and is also symmetrical. As a result of the inflammation of the joints, the growth of the muscular cells and the formation of the blood vessels have led to an increase in the seepage of the internal fluids of the joints, while the tissue around the joints is swelled by inflammation. When the hand joint swells, the finger becomes thicker, especially when the near-end finger joints and the hand finger joints are in the form of “spread-forms”, which are more typical signs of rheumatism. The swelling of the knees, wrists, etc. will significantly increase the shape of the joints, limit their activities and make them feel rigid and inflexible.
The morning freeze is a symptom of the hysteria of rheumatism. When the patient wakes up in the morning, the joint is found to be in a state of rigidity for a long period of time, limited in activity, usually lasting for more than one hour, and can be severed for up to several hours. This inflexibility gradually eases over time, but the time required for mitigation may be extended as the condition evolves. The mid-morning was mainly due to a reduction in joint activity during night sleep and the accumulation of inflammatory seeps within the joint, resulting in joint binding and muscle spasms. The degree and duration of morning rigidity is closely related to the severity of the condition and can be an important indicator of the activity of the disease.
IV. Artificial malformations If the rheumatological arthritis cosmosis is not effectively controlled, long-term inflammation damage can lead to joint malformations. Common deformations include the slashing of the side of the ruler of the finger joint, i.e., the bending of the finger to the side of the small finger; the deformation of the swan neck, in the form of an overstretching of the near-finger joint, and the contusion of the far-finger joint; and the deformity of buttons, in the form of a persevering of the near-finger joint, with an overstretching of the far-finger joint. In addition, different degrees of deformity may occur in the wrists, knees, ankles, etc., such as the integration of the wrists, the internal or external deformities of the knees. Artificial malformations not only seriously affect the function of the joint, leading to a reduction in the ability of the patient to provide for himself in life, but also impose a significant psychological burden on the patient.
As joint function disorders develop, the normal function of the joint is gradually affected and functional impairments occur. Patients may find it difficult to carry out some of their daily activities, such as wearing clothes, laces, pen-shaping and the use of utensils; the movement of large joints, such as walking, up and down stairs and standing, is also restricted. Severe arthropod functional impairments can lead to a loss of working capacity and a significant reduction in the quality of life. This is due to the combination of joint pain, swelling and deformation, which results in reduced joint activity, reduced muscle strength and decreased joint stability.
Symptoms of rheumatological arthritis are varied, from early joint pain, swelling, morning rigidity to later joint malformations and functional disorders, which seriously affect the physical and mental health of patients. In the event of an anomaly in the symmetry of the above-mentioned symptoms, in particular multiple joints, medical treatment should be provided in a timely manner, with a view to early diagnosis and standardized treatment, slowing the progress of the disease and improving the quality of life.
