Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about rheumatology and treatment.
When should I consult a rheumatologist?
If you experience persistent joint pain, stiffness lasting more than 6 weeks, unexplained joint swelling, morning stiffness lasting over 30 minutes, or symptoms of autoimmune disease, you should consult a rheumatologist. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent permanent joint damage.
Is arthritis curable?
While some forms of arthritis cannot be “cured” completely, they can be effectively managed with modern treatments. Early intervention with DMARDs and biologic therapies can achieve remission in many cases of rheumatoid arthritis. The goal is to control inflammation, prevent joint damage, and maintain quality of life.
Are autoimmune diseases lifelong conditions?
Most autoimmune diseases are chronic conditions that require long-term management. However, with proper treatment, many patients can achieve remission or low disease activity. Regular monitoring and medication adjustments help maintain control over the disease.
Is long-term medication safe?
Modern rheumatologic medications are carefully monitored for safety. Regular blood tests and check-ups help identify any potential side effects early. The benefits of controlling disease activity typically outweigh the risks of medication, especially when monitored properly.
How often should I follow up?
Follow-up frequency depends on your condition and treatment. During active disease, you may need monthly visits. Once stable, visits may be every 3-6 months. Regular monitoring ensures treatment effectiveness and allows for timely adjustments.
What is the difference between Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis?
Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease causing inflammation in joint linings, often affecting multiple joints symmetrically. Osteoarthritis is degenerative “wear and tear” arthritis affecting cartilage, typically in weight-bearing joints. Treatment approaches differ significantly.
Can lifestyle changes help manage arthritis?
Yes! Regular exercise, healthy diet, stress management, adequate sleep, and maintaining a healthy weight all play important roles in managing arthritis. These lifestyle factors complement medical treatment and can significantly improve outcomes.
