How long does it take to cure rheumatoid arthritis in the early stages?

Rheumatoid disease is extremely serious to people's lives. This disease often occurs in middle-aged and elderly people because rheumatoid arthritis is a cumulative disease caused by long-term unhealthy living habits. Once the disease occurs, it will cause very severe pain to patients, and the key to treatment is in the early stage. Let’s take a look at how long it takes to cure rheumatoid arthritis in the early stage? I hope everyone can understand.

There is no specific time to say how long it will take to be cured. People have different physical constitutions. The main purpose of rheumatoid arthritis treatment is to reduce joint inflammatory reactions, inhibit the progression of lesions and irreversible bone destruction, protect joint and muscle functions as much as possible, and ultimately achieve the goal of complete remission or low disease activity.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. In the early stages, it often manifests as pain, swelling, and stiffness in the metacarpophalangeal joints, wrists, shoulders, interphalangeal joints, ankles, or knees. In the late stages, it can cause joint deformities, limited mobility, and rheumatoid nodules. Currently, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants, adrenocortical hormones and other drugs are mostly used to treat this disease, such as leflunomide, methotrexate, and etoricoxib tablets. In daily life, you should supplement more vitamins and trace elements, reduce fat intake, avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and greasy food, pay attention to keeping warm, and avoid excessive fatigue.

It is possible to be cured if the disease is diagnosed in time in the early stage and treated with Chinese and Western medicine in a regular hospital in time. This process is long and requires persistence. A video about the rheumatoid department of a public hospital mentioned: The cure rate for rheumatoid arthritis is 50% if treated within 3 months of onset, and 10% if treated within 6 months of onset. It is generally considered to be in the early stage within one year. Therefore, patients in the early stages of the disease should not delay seeing quack doctors, but should go to a regular public hospital to see a Chinese and Western medicine specialist in a timely manner. Currently, Western medicine believes that the disease cannot be cured but can only be controlled.

I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. When it is cloudy or rainy, I will experience pain all over my body and cannot walk. At the same time, if the ankles and knees are swollen, hormone drugs can be used to treat this situation! In the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis, you can consider using hormones and other drugs for treatment, which can significantly relieve symptoms and control the progression of the disease.
