What are the symptoms of rheumatism?
Because the term rheumatism can be applied to a variety of conditions and ailments, it would be extremely difficult to cover the entire range of symptoms. There is however, one thing all rheumatism type conditions share with one another, and that is chronic, often times debilitating pain. Other common symptoms associated with rheumatism include pain, intense soreness, swelling, stiffness in the affected area, and a loss of function in the joints. In addition, people with the disease may have fatigue, occasional fever, and a general sense of not feeling well. The pain associated with this syndrome is very difficult to treat.
