Rheumatism is a common condition and serves as an umbrella term for around 100 different chronic disorders. Rheumatism causes pain and stiffness in the muscles, joints and tendons.
Approximately 2.5 million people in the Netherlands experience long-lasting (chronic) rheumatic symptoms. Most of these complaints are idiopathic, meaning that the exact cause is unknown.
Although rheumatism cannot be cured, it can be managed with a combination of therapy, medication and various supportive devices. A mix of these approaches is often most effective.
When we speak about “rheumatism,” we often refer to rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition.
Normally, the body produces antibodies to protect itself against illness. However, in an autoimmune disorder, the immune system mistakenly produces antibodies that attack the body’s own tissues — in this case, the structures inside the wrist joint.
As a result, the tissue in the wrist is seen as “foreign,” leading to inflammation, irritation and progressive joint damage.

Rheumatism is an autoimmune disease in which the body produces antibodies against its own tissue. In this case, the wrist joint is attacked. This leads to long-term inflammation and symptoms such as pain and stiffness.
The exact cause of rheumatism is not yet fully known. In many cases, it is a combination of factors, such as genetics, an overactive immune system, and external influences.
Factors that may contribute include overuse of the wrist, bacterial infections, and stress. Those searching for causes of wrist rheumatism or wrist inflammation often encounter these factors.
