Rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is a long-term systemic autoimmune disease that can cause pain, swelling, and limited movement in the joints. The term "systemic" means it affects different organs and systems in the body, with the musculoskeletal system being the most affected.

Crystalline arthritis

Crystal arthritis is a category of conditions in which crystals are deposited in or around the joints, causing inflammation, pain, swelling, and stiffness. The two most common forms are gouty arthritis and pseudogout.

Systemic sclerosis

Systemic sclerosis (SS), also known as scleroderma, is a rare, chronic, autoimmune disease characterized by excessive collagen production, leading to hardening and fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. It is a multisystemic disease, meaning that it can affect many parts of the body, such as the skin, blood vessels, muscles, joints, kidneys, lungs, and heart.

Treating Raynaud's syndrome

Treatment for Raynaud's syndrome focuses mainly on avoiding triggers (cold, stress) and, in more severe cases, medication to improve blood circulation.

Rheumatic polymyalgia

Rheumatic polymyalgia (RPM) is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects almost exclusively individuals aged over 50 years old. It is characterized by intense pain and stiffness in specific muscle groups rather than muscle weakness.

Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis

Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are two different, though often confused, conditions of the musculoskeletal system that mainly affect older people. The main difference lies in which structures of the body are affected and how.

Systemic scleroderma

Systemic sclerosis (SS), also known as scleroderma, is a rare, chronic, autoimmune rheumatic disease characterized by three main pathological processes: damage to small blood vessels, activation of the immune system, and excessive collagen production, leading to hardening (fibrosis) of the skin and internal organs.

Spinal arthritis

Spinal arthritis means inflammation of the spine. Sometimes, it can cause problems such as pain and stiffness in other joints as well. Psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease.

Systemic lupus erythematosus

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues and organs, causing widespread inflammation.

Sjögren's syndrome

Sjögren's syndrome (pronounced "shuh-ghrin") is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects glands that produce fluids, such as the tear and salivary glands. This leads to reduced tear and saliva production, resulting in severe dryness of the eyes and mouth. The disease can occur on its own or in combination with other autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus.

Angiitis

Vasculitides are a group of rare, autoimmune diseases that have inflammation of the blood vessel walls as a common feature. Vasculitides are mainly classified based on the size of the vessels they affect (large, medium, small).

Myositis

Myositis is a group of rare idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, i.e., chronic autoimmune diseases that cause muscle inflammation. Their main characteristic is progressive weakness and inflammation of the muscles.

Chronic pain syndromes, Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is one of the most characteristic and common chronic pain syndromes. These conditions are not "inflammatory arthritis" in the classic sense, but rather conditions in which pain becomes chronic and diffuse.

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common peripheral nerve entrapment neuropathy. It is caused by pressure on the median nerve as it passes through the narrow "carpal tunnel" in the wrist, leading to symptoms in the hand and forearm. Symptoms usually begin gradually and worsen over time.
