How does rheumatoid arthritis hurt? There are two situations in which patients with rheumatoid arthritis experience pain: First, in the early stage of rheumatoid arthritis, due to synovial inflammation or inflammation of the soft tissues around the joint, a large number of inflammatory factors are secreted, which stimulates the local pain nerves and causes pain and discomfort. Second, in the advanced stage of rheumatoid arthritis, due to the destruction of cartilage, obvious joint deformity appears, and the patient's joint space is significantly narrowed, resulting in bone pain. In the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis, anti-inflammatory analgesics and anti-rheumatismal drugs** are used to reduce inflammation and relieve symptoms. For advanced bone pain, joint replacement surgery can generally be considered to relieve symptoms. Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by chronic, symmetrical, progressive, polyarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis joints are characterized by predominantly small joints, particularly the symmetrical, polyarticular nature of the hand. Rheumatoid arthritis joint pain and tenderness are characterized by symmetry and persistence, and often involve the wrist joint, metacarpophalangeal joint, and proximal interphalangeal joint. Rheumatoid arthritis causes joint pain, and the first thing you can do is to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve the symptoms, commonly used drugs include meloxicam, celecoxib, diclofenac sodium, loxoprofen sodium, etc., these drugs can reduce the patient's joint swelling and pain. These drugs can relieve symptoms as soon as possible, stop the progression of lesions, etc., and after the patient's condition is completely stabilized, they can be switched to regular oral medications**. However, when symptoms are found, you should still go to the hospital for treatment and examination in time, so as not to delay the disease.
