Question: My younger sister has had rheumatoid arthritis for over ten years and can no longer walk normally. She has sought medical treatment for many years with poor results. How should she be treated?

Answer: Rheumatoid arthritis is difficult to treat, often chronic and prolonged, eventually leading to joint deformity and mobility impairment. Western painkillers and hormones only provide short-term relief and have no curative effect. Only a small portion of patients can achieve near-term cure through traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and treatment.
