The onset of the disease is often complicated, but can also be painful, with pain in the little finger or toe joints. There may also be other joints, especially hand, knee, shoulder, foot, hip joints. Typically, the carpal bones, the metacarpophalangeal joints and the proximal interphalangeal joints (PIP) are affected. The finger-end and end-to-end joints (distal interphalangeal joints, DIP) are not affected, unlike gout. The betrogenen joint thresholds are on and are overheated. Redness of the affected joints may be added. A symmetrical (= bilateral) synovitis of the parent forms is typical, but not mandatory. In the morning, these symptoms are most effectively expressed; It is the symptomatic morning stiffness. In the course of the disease, more and more are being moved.

 

Mostly the illness proceeds; a boost typically lasts between two weeks and months. Between the attacks, the complaints subsided. The treatment is that a treatment of the state of health does not go back to the therapy.
