Rheumatism in your hand

How does Rheumatism develop?

Rheumatism develops gradually. In the early stages, nothing will be noticed yet about the joints. At a later stage, fingers may feel sensitive and stiff. Many studies are underway to discover the exact cause of rheumatism. Until now it can be concluded that rheumatism can occur at all different ages and that the dysfunction of the autoimmune system takes place. The autoimmune system can become disrupted by bacterial infections, stress or excessive stress. What we do know is that rheumatism is more common in women than men .
