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 results were not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. Is leg swelling and pain a symptom of rheumatism?Doctor's answer:
Rheumatism can cause joint pain to recur, and many topical creams for treating rheumatism can be applied. For swollen and painful calves, it is recommended to consult a doctor for examination to verify the condition. After diagnosis, treatment should be administered based on the specific condition, which is more appropriate.In daily life, pay attention to preventing cold exposure and avoid touching damp areas. Prevent catching cold winds, pay attention to dietary habits and hygiene, ensure proper digestion and nutrition, and enhance your physical fitness. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health.
