What are the symptoms of rheumatism?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I would like to consult about the symptoms of rheumatism. How long is the early expected period? It will be quite noticeable, I think.

Doctor's answer:

The typical symptoms of rheumatism manifest as joint pain, joint deformation, and stiffness in the joints upon waking in the morning. When the disease flares up, the symptoms tend to be more pronounced. It often recurs during weather changes, so individuals with rheumatism should pay attention to preventing cold exposure and avoiding catching colds. Additionally, rehabilitation treatments such as herbal hot compresses and moxibustion can help prevent the recurrence of the disease.
