Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about rheumatology and booking a rheumatologist
What is the difference between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis?
Osteoarthritis is a wear-and-tear condition affecting cartilage, typically in older adults. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease causing joint inflammation that can occur at any age.
Can rheumatoid arthritis be cured?
RA cannot be cured, but modern treatments including DMARDs and biologics can achieve remission in many patients, significantly reducing pain and preventing joint damage.
What is a DMARD?
DMARDs (Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs) are medications that slow or stop the progression of autoimmune diseases like RA and lupus by targeting the underlying immune dysfunction.
