Rheumatoid arthritis of the knee, be careful of these complications!

The deepest impression of rheumatic arthritis on patients is the pain it brings. Even very strong men cannot endure the severe pain for a long time once they suffer from rheumatic arthritis. Therefore, patients with rheumatic arthritis must receive timely treatment, not only to get rid of the pain, but also to avoid complications.

1. Pneumonia

Due to decreased immunity and bacterial infection, patients often suffer from pneumonia.

2. Urinary tract infection

Rheumatoid arthritis patients are prone to urinary tract infection if they do not pay attention to their daily life or after catching a cold.

3. Cushing syndrome

If patients use hormones for too long, they often develop Cushing's syndrome due to the suppression of adrenal cortex function. Common symptoms include moon face, buffalo hump, weight gain, etc.

4. Oral ulcers

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis often develop oral ulcers after taking immunosuppressants. In addition, they may also experience adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, anorexia, rash, and loss of taste.

5. Infectious diseases

Because patients have suffered from the disease for too long and their immune function has declined, they are more susceptible to infection than normal people when certain infectious diseases are prevalent in society.
