Home remedies for rheumatism in female finger joints

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease with corrosive, symmetrical multi-faceted involvement as the key clinical symptoms. The cause of the disease is unclear and it is common in middle-aged women. The main pathological manifestations are inflammation of the synovium of the joint capsule and the formation of pannus, which invade the joint cartilage and its subchondral bone, tendons and tendons, leading to destruction of the joint cartilage and its bone and articular cartilage, and finally causing joint deformity and loss of function.

The most common typical clinical symptom of rheumatoid arthritis is finger joint pain. There are many treatment methods. Although rheumatoid arthritis cannot be eradicated, it can prevent joint damage, thereby maintaining joint function, slowing down the progression of the disease, and improving the patient's quality of life to the greatest extent. This is the overall goal of rheumatoid arthritis treatment.

The main treatments for finger joint pain are non-steroidal analgesics, hormone drugs and slow-acting antirheumatic drugs. The first two can relieve the symptoms of finger joint pain, but they cannot completely prevent joint inflammation and joint damage. Slow-acting anti-rheumatic drugs can improve and slow the progression of finger arthritis, so they cannot simply relieve pain and should be used as soon as possible. Active and reasonable use of slow-acting anti-rheumatic drugs in the early stage is important to reduce finger joint deformities. In addition, the selection of anti-rheumatic drugs should be based on the principles of safety, economical cost, rationality and simplicity!

When you have pain in your finger joints, you can choose non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. There are many types of these drugs, and the effects on relieving joint pain are different. Each type of drug has different advantages and disadvantages. Treatment needs to be personalized, and this type of drug cannot be taken for a long time. They are divided into nine types according to their different mechanisms of action. I will not introduce each drug one by one here. The more common ones are meloxicam tablets (Mobic); celecoxib (Celebrex), suitable for patients with gastrointestinal ulcers; diclofenac (Voltaren, Intaqing, Difen); loxoprofen sodium (Lesong), which evenly inhibits cyclooxygenase 1 and 2, has few side effects, and is quick to take effect; diclofenac sodium has more side effects and is not the preferred anti-rheumatic drug.

Prednisone and methylprednisolone are often used as bridge drugs for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis pain. After the slow-acting antirheumatic drugs take effect, the dosage can be gradually reduced or stopped.

For slow-acting antirheumatic drugs, methotrexate is the preferred option, followed by sulfasalazine, hydroxychloroquine, leflunomide, azathioprine, tripterygium wilfordii, and total glucosides of white peony. Finally, when the above drugs have poor effects, biological products can also be considered, such as Remicade, Yesup, Anbanov, Humira, etc.

Generally speaking, finger joint pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is a manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis activity. There are various treatment drugs, but they cannot rely solely on analgesics and growth hormones. Slow-acting anti-rheumatic drugs or biological products should be used as much as possible to achieve long-term pain relief.

In daily life, you should pay attention to keeping warm, avoid cold water, eat a light and easy-to-digest diet, eat less spicy and irritating food, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and exercise moderately to enhance the body's immune ability. Pay attention to rest and avoid excessive fatigue.
