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. What kind of medicine should I take for connective tissue disease?Doctor's answer:
Connective tissue diseases are autoimmune disorders that can first be treated with some immune-boosting drugs. If joint pain occurs, hormone drugs can also be used as appropriate. During treatment, it is important to pay attention to regular exercise to fully restore physical fitness, which is very helpful for stabilizing the disease. Attention should also be paid to dietary conditioning, both to enhance nutrition and maintain a light diet.
