Rheumatoid Arthritis - CRASH! Medical Review Series

“Systemic” means that the inflammation affects the connective tissue throughout the body. I have had RA for 20+ years and the problems caused outside the joint has been significant. The job of the rheumatologist should be to treat the systemic disease, NOT just focus on the joint symptoms. New research is needed on the presentation of an RA patient. For me, I had large joint symptoms before small joint symptoms. I have had problems throughout my spine, including my low back and sacroilitis. Thank you for hearing my rant out.

I've had this disease since I was 14. I'm now 32 and wheelchair bound.

rheumatology arhritis very well explained easy to remember with your talk.

Anti CCB stands for Anti cyclic citrullinated peptide.

I started to be addict to your videos thanks

My chiropractor is amazing and he’s helped me more than any doctor I have been in contact with !

Thank you so much Dr P. Bolin. I am benefiting from your works.

Thank you for sharing these videos. They are so helpful

Almost watched your lectures ..so useful Doc..thank you

Very nice to the point and very easy to follow lecture on the subject of Rheumatoid Arthritis .Thanks.

I have RA for 13 years now, I am 65. I tried medications, methotrexate, humira, simponi and a few others. Nothing worked well for me. I started taking Xelhanz 4 years ago, and haven't even had one swollen anything after taking this drug for the first week. Xeljanz is the bomb! Have not even felt like I have RA for 4 years now! Please try it! Hope is works for you.

Chiropractic tx and acupuncture works. Aligning bones reduces some imbalances that cause overcompensation of muscle groups and results in pain as we move through life. Acupuncture relaxes muscle spasms that cause pain. As an acupuncturist myself and an nurse practitioner and soon to be an MD, I still recommend these modalities because it treats some conditions better than NSAIDS or surgery.

Thank you Dr Bolin, really great lectures!

Radiography does not always show RA in early stages!

Actually swelling is not always present in RA

Absolutely love your channel

Chiropractors work. I see my dad getting better with mobility after getting treatment with a chiropractor. Of coz a Rheumatic pt shouldn't see one. But in general, chiropractors are amazing too.

Thank you so much your videos have been incredibly helpful for my pa school exams

LOLLL! witch doctors, love it :-)
