It is a severe chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder that may affect many tissues and organs but principally attacking the joints producing inflammatory synovitis that often progresses to the destruction of articular cartilage and ankylosis of the joints. The exact cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown but autoimmunity plays a vital role in the progression of the disease. it is such a painful condition that slowly it leads to immobility and disabling of the joints with the progression of the disease.
The onset of the acute variety of rheumatism is characterized by fever, intense soreness and pain. In the acute muscular type, the area becomes so sensitive that even the weight of the bed clothing aggravates the pain. It may settle into a chronic state under a wrong mode of treatment. If the disease is not treated properly in the acute stage, it may become chronic.
The symptoms of chronic muscular rheumatism are pain and stiffness of the affected muscles. In the case of chronic articular rheumatism, pain and stiffness are felt in one or more joints of the body, with swelling in most cases.
The chief cause of rheumatism is the presence of toxic waste products in the blood. The liberal consumption of meat, white bread, sugar and refined cereals leaves a large residue of toxic wastes in the system. When the vitality is low, the toxic wastes are concentrated around the joints and bony structure, where they form the basis of rheumatism.
In certain cases, infection from the teeth, tonsils and gall bladder may produce rheumatism. The disease is aggravated by exposure to cold water and working in water for a long time.
The joint inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis is due to synovitis, an inflammation of the synovial membrane and tendon sheaths. The joints are inflamed or swollen and warm to touch and the movements are restricted. Most commonly, small joints of the hand, feet and cervical spine are affected. Morning stiffness is the most commonly seen feature and it lasts for more than half an hour.
