How to determine whether it is arthritis?
Judge whether it is arthritis or not, and understand the symptoms of arthritis. Arthritis mainly goes through three different periods: you can judge that you have arthritis by five criteria, namely redness, swelling, heat, pain and dysfunction.
Red-the joints will be red and swollen during acute infection.
Swelling-Swelling is one of the symptoms of arthritis, which is not necessarily related to the degree of joint pain.
Heat-because the blood circulation of joints is particularly small, it should be cold to the touch under normal circumstances, generally lower than other parts of the body. If the joint is found to be hot, even a little hot, it means that the joint is inflamed and should be treated immediately.
Pain-Pain is the most common manifestation of arthritis. The location of the pain is very clear, only the joints will hurt, and other parts will not.
Dysfunction-Pain and inflammation will occur during the onset of arthritis, causing edema of tissues around joints and limiting joint activity.
