Frequently Asked Questions – Rheumatologist

What is the difference between rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis?

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease causing joint inflammation in younger people, symmetrically. Osteoarthritis is wear-and-tear arthritis common in older adults, especially in weight-bearing joints.

Is lupus curable?

Lupus is not curable but is manageable with medications. Many patients live normal lives with proper treatment and follow-up.

Can gout be permanently treated?

Gout attacks can be controlled with NSAIDs. Long-term urate-lowering therapy with allopurinol or febuxostat prevents future attacks and joint damage.
