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. Could you please explain what is wrong with widespread pain in advanced connective tissue disease?Doctor's answer:
Connective tissue disease is a disease of the immune system. It requires a treatment method that combines hormones with vitamins. If there is joint pain, pain relievers are needed. When necessary, hormones should be used in combination with treatment for a period of time. The cost is hard to say. It depends on the medication. Generally, the fees at tertiary hospitals or provincial-level hospitals tend to be higher. Tolerating the treatment can help alleviate the condition. It is important to pay attention to preventing colds in daily life.
