Arthritis is inflammation of the joints. Common people have various misconceptions about this rheumatic disease; which has no basis. So along with creating awareness, following doctor's advice can cure arthritis or rheumatism.
Md. Nahiduzzaman Sajjad talks about the different types of arthritis and some common misconceptions. He said, there is a misconception among many people in our country, that many people confuse rheumatic fever and rheumatic pain. The reason is that rheumatic fever causes joint pain. The same problem can be seen in arthritis pain. But the difference between the two is that in rheumatic fever the joints are swollen. Major joints of the body are affected. This pain causes movement. That is, pain in one joint can be seen immediately in another joint. This is called polyarthritis. This is the specific point of rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever usually affects children, i.e. children between five and fifteen years of age.
On the other hand, joint pain is a temporary problem. This disease causes joint pain which lasts for four to six weeks. There are many types of chronic arthritis. A proper diagnosis is essential for proper treatment. Because different types of arthritis are treated differently.
Then Md. Nahiduzzaman Sajjad discusses the treatment and cure of this disease. He said, the primary treatment for various types of rheumatism is to take painkillers. In addition, disease modifying antirheumatic drugs are used. These are not painkillers. They control disease from within. Eventually no more painkillers. Sometimes steroid-like drugs have to be used, but only for a short time.
