yes iam diagnosed with polyarthritis
Brief Answer:
information
Detailed Answer:
Ok, I'll tell you some general things about polyarthritis. It's a name for a number of different types of arthritis where more than 4 joints are involved at the same time. It's usually caused by autoimmune disorders so the person who has it will likely have abnormal lab tests, such as a high ANA. Rheumatoid arthritis and lupus are examples of autoimmune disorders that cause polyarthritis.
Treatment is usually aimed at controlling the underlying autoimmune or other disorder that is causing it.
It's best to have at least an initial evaluation with a rheumatologist to evaluate the underlying cause and options for treatment.
I hope this information helps.
