Patient's question:
I am 53 years old. Recently, as I have gotten older, I have been experiencing leg pain. I have previously visited the immunology department, but the effect was not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. How should I treat postpartum rheumatism?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the treatment for postpartum rheumatism is consistent with that of rheumatoid arthritis. With the current level of medical technology, there is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis. In this case, acupuncture can achieve some therapeutic effects, and it can also be combined with Chinese herbal medicines that replenish qi and blood, such as angelica sinensis and ginseng. Moreover, in daily life, it is essential to eat more vegetables and fruits and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Adjust your lifestyle and sleep schedule to avoid further exacerbation of rheumatism, which is different from general rheumatism.
