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. Could you please tell me what methods are available for treating rheumatism?Doctor's answer:
The etiology of rheumatism is complex and is greatly related to and influenced by factors such as intergenerational inheritance, environmental factors, physique, lifestyle, and more. It may also be related to and influenced by factors such as infection and the immune system. In terms of prevention, the main focus is on adjusting lifestyle and changing living environments. Avoid staying in excessively damp and cold places, pay attention to yourself, and try to avoid direct contact with cold and uncooked water. During winter and spring seasons, use traditional Chinese medicine for wind-dispelling and dampness-removing treatment.
