Rheumatoid arthritis is an allergic disease and one of the main manifestations of rheumatic fever. It usually starts with acute fever and joint pain. The typical manifestations are mild or moderate fever and migratory polyarthritis. The affected joints are mostly large joints such as the knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, and wrists. It is common for the disease to spread from one joint to another. The lesions are locally red, swollen, burning, and extremely painful. Some patients also have several joints affected at the same time. Atypical patients only have joint pain without other inflammatory manifestations. Acute inflammation generally subsides in 2-4 weeks without leaving sequelae, but it often recurs. If rheumatic activity affects the heart, myocarditis may occur and even residual heart valve disease may occur. Joint pain is the main symptom of rheumatoid arthritis patients and is also one of the most painful symptoms for patients.

Note: 1. Joint immobilization: In the acute phase, the joints should be placed in a resting position and movement should be reduced.

2. Local massage: After the joint pain is relieved, you can massage around the joints by yourself.

3. Joint gymnastics exercises: Practice different joint gymnastics for different joints, 30 minutes each time, 2-3 times a day.

① Joint fumigation with medicine: prepare medicine for joint fumigation and wash. The water temperature should be kept at around 50℃, once a day, each time for 20 minutes.

② Warm water bath for joints: Soak the affected joints or the entire limb in warm water for about 20 minutes, once a day.
