Let's talk: Strong together against rheumatism: causes, symptoms and treatment options
What is it about
Rheumatism is a collective term for more than 100 different diseases that affect muscles, tendons, ligaments and, above all, joints. The most common form is rheumatoid arthritis, but osteoarthritis, gout and systemic lupus erythematosus are also rheumatic diseases.
Typical symptoms of rheumatism are joint pain, swelling, stiffness, limited mobility and fatigue. These symptoms can develop gradually and worsen over time, which can significantly impair the quality of life of those affected.
The exact causes of rheumatism are often not fully understood, but a combination of genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors are likely to play a role. Women are more commonly affected than men, and the risk increases with age.
It is important that people with rheumatism follow a holistic treatment strategy that includes nutrition, stress management and coping with the condition. Early diagnosis and close collaboration with doctors and other healthcare providers can help prevent complications and improve quality of life.
