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. How is rheumatoid arthritis treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, symptoms like hand numbness and joint pain are indeed often associated with many rheumatic arthritis conditions, which may be related to the body's immune system. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is mainly considered that some wind-cold and dampness pathogens stagnate in the meridians. It is also recommended to undergo further examinations at the hospital for a more accurate diagnosis. For treatment, you can appropriately take some Chinese patent medicines that alleviate rheumatism and unblock meridians. Specific medication should be strictly followed according to the doctor's advice. Additionally, treatments like warm needle therapy can also be considered.
