What is Rheumatology?
The field of medicine known as rheumatology deals with arthritis as well as other conditions affecting the joints, muscles, and ligaments. This field of study also deals with the treatment of a wide range of diseases, such as connective tissue diseases that affect ligaments and tendons and can impact the skin and other organs, as well as inflammatory diseases that affect the muscles, joints, and bones. Almost one-third of the adult population in the community suffers from rheumatological diseases, which are among the most prevalent illnesses. Rheumatologists are skilled in identifying and treating musculoskeletal diseases as well as systemic autoimmune diseases.
What are the symptoms of
Rheumatology problems?
Every patient is affected by rheumatoid arthritis in a different manner. Some patients have joint problems for an extended period. There are times when symptoms get worse, known as flares, and other times when they get better, known as remissions.
Some of the most typical symptoms of rheumatic illnesses and arthritis are the ones listed below:
- Joint pain
- Joint swelling
- Lack of appetite
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Loss of mobility and function
- Joint stiffness that lasts for at least an hour in the morning
- An ongoing joint sensitivity
- Warmth or redness near a joint
- Limited movement in an affected joint
Certain rheumatic conditions also have distinctive symptoms that help to identify them. For instance, most lupus patients will feel some sort of skin rash, as well as joint discomfort with inflammation and exhaustion.
What causes
Rheumatology Diseases?
The majority of rheumatic disease types have unknown causes. The majority of these diseases are brought on by an aberrant immune system that targets its own tissues. It can sometimes run in the family. Sometimes it’s brought on by anything external to you, such as cigarette smoke, pollutants, or an infection-causing agent.
Nevertheless, depending on the kind of rheumatic condition, experts think that some or all of the following may be involved:
- Lifestyle choices
- Genes and family history
- Environmental factors
- Infection
- Metabolic problems
- Trauma
- Damage to or stress on a joint or joints
What are the surgical procedures
for Rheumatology?
What are the surgical procedures for Rheumatology?
After physical therapy, medicines, and other treatments have failed to heal damage to your joint or the tissues around it, the doctor may recommend surgery. You should consult a rheumatologist to determine whether it might be beneficial for you and what outcomes you would expect.
- Total Joint Replacement
When you have the disease, your hip and knee are the joints that need to be replaced the most. Your surgeon replaces the artificial joint with the removed defective component. The item, known as a prosthesis, can be constructed of ceramic, metal, or plastic. Depending on factors including your weight, health, and amount of activity, a replacement joint may endure for more than 20 years. You could require more surgery after that.
- Knee Replacement Surgery
A sore, stiff knee can make it difficult for you to do even basic tasks like walking and climbing stairs. Ask your doctor about knee replacement surgery if you have tried alternative therapies and weren’t able to get relief. Our knee joint won’t be replaced in its entirety; only the surface of the knee bones will be. It will remove the injured cartilage as well as a tiny portion of the bone underneath. To allow you to bend and move your knees like previously, they were replaced with metal and plastic components.
- Hip Replacement Surgery
After all alternative treatments have failed to work, hip replacement surgery is often performed. If you have problems bending, if your hip is so rigid that it’s difficult to elevate your leg, or if you experience chronic discomfort, your doctor could advise it. The severity of your symptoms, rather than your age or weight, will determine if surgery is appropriate for you.
Other Surgeries
- Carpal tunnel release
- Bone or joint fusion surgery
- Arthroscopy
- Synovectomy
Types of
Rheumatology Diseases
Some of the most prevalent rheumatic diseases include the following:
- Gout - Gout is a kind of inflammatory arthritis that is brought on by the body producing too much uric acid, which results in crystals forming in the joints.
- Arthritis - The term "arthritis" refers to joint discomfort or disease, and it can be of several varieties, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The most typical symptoms are pain, stiffness, edema, redness, and a loss in joint range of motion. There is no cure for arthritis, but adequate therapy can minimize symptoms and allow patients to continue with their usual daily activities.
- Connective tissue diseases - The connective tissues that keep the various bodily components together are affected by this condition. It may have an impact on blood vessels, tendons, eyes, muscles, ligaments, joints, bones, and cartilage.
- Osteoporosis - It is a rheumatic disorder where the bones weaken and crack easily. It can be brought on by a number of things, such as your family history, age, sex, dietary limitations, race, medicines, etc. Osteoporosis cannot be cured, but with the right medicine and exercise, people may function normally and continue their everyday activities.
- Ankylosing Spondylitis - The vertebrae of the spine fuse as a result of a particular kind of arthritis. Patients have stiffness in their lower back, hips, and buttocks, as well as neck discomfort and lower back pain from it. A variety of imaging procedures, including X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans, can be used to diagnose this condition.
What diagnostic tests are done in Rheumatology Treatment?
In order to help patients live long and fulfilling lives, Wockhardt Hospitals’ rheumatologists are skilled in using cutting-edge techniques to treat a variety of conditions. Some of the diagnostic tests for the rheumatology treatment options include:
- Blood Tests
- X-Rays
- MRI
- Radiology tests
- Rheumatoid factor test
- Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)
- C-Reactive Protein (CRP)

How long will it take for
Rheumatoid Surgery recovery?
Healing typically takes one month following arthroscopic surgery since it is less intrusive. The severity of your Rheumatoid disease condition prior to surgery, the joint involved, and your ability to adhere to recovery guidelines, such as physical therapy regimens, can all affect how long it takes you to recover from all of these rheumatology treatments. The majority of patients can take care of themselves, resume their regular daily activities, and drive within 3 to 6 weeks. With our excellent post-operative care and doctor’s proven recommendations & medications, our patients recover quickly and without any complications.
