First, self-massage exercise:
1 shaking method: shake the wrist, palm and interphalangeal joints every morning to achieve the effect of detumescence and pain relief, and maintain and help restore the normal function of joints.
2. Kneading fingering: insist on twisting ten knuckles alternately with both hands every day, and massage joints and related acupoints to achieve the purpose of spasmolysis, pain relief and swelling reduction.
Second, self-care:
Because hands are often exposed, they have the widest contact with the outside world and are most vulnerable to wind, cold and humidity. Therefore, patients should pay attention to keep their hands warm, windproof and moistureproof. Attention should also be paid to maintaining the normal functional posture of each joint to avoid ankylosis.
What should patients with rheumatic diseases pay attention to when cooking food?
Food not only provides nutrition for the human body, but also plays a role in treating diseases, that is, dietotherapy, if cooked properly. Where food is used for dietotherapy, it is generally not appropriate to use cooking methods such as frying, roasting, boiling and explosion, so as to avoid excessive destruction of its effective components or change its nature and lose its due role in diseases. Dietetic foods should be steamed, stewed, boiled and soup. Dietotherapy should be less meals and more meals, with long water flow, not too much at a time, so as not to damage the spleen and stomach function.
