What is rheumatism?


The word 'rheumatism' is derived from the Greek word for 'to flow', which means that bad body fluids flow and cause disease. Therefore, 'rheumatism' is a term that focuses on explaining the principle of disease development rather than a diagnosis name, and 'rheumatism' refers to a pathological phenomenon that occurs in muscles, joints, and bones caused by this mechanism. Rheumatoid disease can occur anywhere body fluid flows. Bones, joints, muscles, skin, nerves, etc. are the main places where problems occur, and internal organs (lungs, heart, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract) are also affected.


Although 'rheumatism' is often abbreviated as 'rheumatism', the disease that has been described as 'rheumatism' from ancient times includes over 100 different diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis. These various diseases - osteoarthritis (degenerative arthritis), rheumatoid arthritis, myofascial pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, bursitis, tendinitis, crystal-induced diseases (gout, pseudogout), spondylopathies (ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, enteropathy) Arthritis), systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, scleroderma, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, antiphospholipid syndrome, vasculitis including Behcet's disease, etc. .
