How to care for rheumatism
1. Avoid physical trauma or strain, because they may induce or aggravate rheumatism. Acute joint injury can cause traumatic arthritis in the affected joints. Acute sprain of the waist can cause lumbar disc herniation.
2. In case of mild diseases, we should treat them in time to avoid inducing more serious diseases. Such as chronic lower back strain, tenosynovitis, etc., the affected parts often have a long history of overwork, and this chronic cumulative injury can also cause congestion, edema and adhesion of the affected tissues, leading to the occurrence of diseases. So injury and strain are the causes of rheumatism, which is obvious.
3. Rheumatoid patients should pay attention to diet adjustment, especially the elderly patients. Under normal circumstances, the metabolism of the elderly is negative nitrogen balance, plus illness, often emaciation, anemia, hypoproteinemia and so on. For elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis, we should not only emphasize the nutrition of diet, but also pay attention to the balance of eating varieties. The sudden change of eating varieties is an important factor to aggravate the condition or symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, and a diet with high calorie, high protein and high fat is also an important aggravating factor of rheumatoid arthritis.
4. Treat infectious lesions. The elderly have decreased immune function, poor adaptability to the environment, and are prone to various infections, and infection is one of the important factors for the aggravation of rheumatoid arthritis. Dental caries, tonsillitis, sinusitis, chronic otitis media, etc. are not noticeable, but they are important sources of infection and must be treated in time.
