It's cold, and my legs and feet hurt.

Rheumatoid patients often feel joint pain and other symptoms aggravated before the climate changes or the arrival of rain and snow, so they can predict the weather changes. Why? Rheumatism is a recurrent systemic connective tissue disease. It can invade the heart, joints, skin, serosa, blood vessels, brain, lungs, kidneys and other organs, especially the heart and joints. When the weather changes in normal people, such as humidity increases, air pressure decreases, intracellular fluid's body oozes and urine volume increases; When the humidity decreases and the air pressure increases, the liquid will stay in the gaps in the body. The transfer of this liquid is a strain process when the body cells change to the external natural environment. When rheumatism invades and the joint is inflamed, the diseased tissue can't discharge fluid with the change of weather, which leads to the pressure in the inflamed joint cells higher than that in the normal tissue, which leads to the aggravation of pain or local swelling. This is why rheumatism can predict the weather. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when the climate is changeable, cold and heat alternate, or when it is cold, wet, wading, raining, or the human body's resistance is low, wind, cold and dampness invade the human body, inject into meridians, stay in joints, and hinder qi and blood, thus forming rheumatism. Cold weather in winter will increase the incidence of rheumatism and aggravate the condition. Therefore, patients with rheumatism should pay special attention to the change of weather and strengthen the prevention and treatment of rheumatism in cold winter and climate change. The following principles are generally applied to the treatment of acute rheumatism: first, rest quietly, strengthen nursing, keep warm, cold and damp-proof; The second is to use antibiotics to control streptococcus infection; Third, use aspirin or hormones to inhibit rheumatic activities; Fourth, adhere to standardized and thorough treatment to prevent recurrence. Antibiotics and hormones have miraculous effects on the treatment of rheumatism, but they have great side effects and should not be commonly used. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is more and more popular with patients because of its good curative effect and few side effects. For example, Zhu Jing Shi Feng Capsule, a national first-class new drug used in Rheumatology Department of Fujian Geriatric Hospital, has the effects of expelling wind and cold, diminishing inflammation and relieving pain, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, nourishing liver and kidney, and strengthening tendons and bones, and has a good curative effect on intractable low back and leg pain caused by rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, numbness of limbs, rheumatism, sciatica, insomnia, amnesia and climacteric syndrome. In short, external factors are only the conditions of rheumatism, and internal factors are the root of rheumatism. In order to prevent the disease, we must strengthen physical exercise and improve human immunity. Of course, once you get sick, you must find a good doctor and treat it early.
