Damp-heat arthritis may present with pain symptoms. The main symptom—joint pain—is the most common manifestation in rheumatic diseases and may spread locally or even become systemic. Patients should be aware that if this condition affects other parts of the body, it can damage internal organs and the nervous system. Muscle pain is common, and patients may experience muscle atrophy. In severe cases, generalized weakness and erythema may occur, leading to skin inflammation. It is recommended that patients eat more fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly, and keep warm.
