Non-specific Rheumatism Disorder
Rheumatism has become a general term for medical problems that
affect the heart, joints, kidney, bones, lung and skin. There is
a huge list of herbal remedies that are recommended in battling
Rheumatism but modern medicine understands that there is several
different causes to the condition, and that each case requires
different/individual treatment.
Because Rheumatism is such a broad term is contains several
disorders. The major disorders are: Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid
arthritis, Rheumatic heart disease, shoulder/neck/back
pain, and zolymyalgia rheumatica among others.
If you look at the above list you will notice that several of
these disorders have little in common. The common
characteristics that they all share is that they cause chronic
pain that is difficult to treat. With the above in mind it is
easy to see why Rheumatism is so common. This commonality as
well as generality is also reflected by the immense amount of
herbal medicines, and other ancient techniques that are
available to treat Rheumatism. Primary treatment for
Rheumatological diseases begins primarirly with paracetamol and
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Often times the initial
amounts of drugs prescribed to battle the disease aren't
sufficient, and need to be increased.
The various number of conditions that are associated with the
term "Rheumatism" mean that it is recommended to see your local
physician before concluding that you have the disorder, based on
a sore neck or back one day. Often times a simple check-up will
be all that is needed by your physician. Be smart with your
health.
