Difference between Rheumatism Arthritis and Rheumatism
Imagine you discovered swelling or pain in the joints part and were diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis after a series of examinations. However, you couldn’t find out the cause or factor why you would suffer from rheumatism(arthritis). This clearly indicates a confusion between rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatism. Are rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatism the same thing?
They are NOT. Rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatism are both diseases related to joints. Although they share some similarities, there are significant differences in many aspects, including symptoms, causes, and treatment methods. The wrong treatment plan could lead to missing the golden period of treatment. So, what's the difference between rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatism?
- Origin and Causes:
Rheumatoid Arthritis: It is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's healthy tissues, causing inflammation around the joints. It is characterized by morning stiffness, prolonged joint stiffness after waking up, and affects organs such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys due to its autoimmune nature, leading to issues like vasculitis, neuropathy, malnutrition, etc.
Rheumatism (or Rheumatic Diseases): Rheumatism refers to a variety of conditions that affect joints, muscles, ligaments, and bones. Rheumatoid arthritis is just one type of rheumatic disease. Unlike rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatism can also result from joint infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi.
- Symptoms:
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Symptoms include joint swelling, pain, restricted movement, fatigue, and possible skin damage. Typically, it affects joints symmetrically, meaning similar joints on both sides of the body are affected.
Rheumatism (Rheumatic Diseases): Symptoms may include joint swelling, and pain, and may be accompanied by fever and overall discomfort. Arthritis is a common feature, affecting one or more joints.
- Treatment Methods:
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Treatment plans are complex, focusing mainly on the immune system, inflammation control, and incorporating physical therapy and moderate exercise.
Rheumatism (Rheumatic Diseases): Treatment primarily targets arthritis inflammation and preventing infections.
In addition to early diagnosis and treatment, daily habits, including diet and lifestyle, are crucial for managing these two diseases. Let's work together with Stolle to resist inflammation and create a life without inflammation!
