Several rheumatic diseases can result in a heart, lung, kidney, nerve, or other organ system problem. A swollen hand can be anything from an infection to an immune disorder like rheumatoid arthritis. In my practice I am seeing fewer and fewer patients with severe osteoporotic deformities like dowager's humps because treatments are more readily available and more patients are trying to take their calcium and get exercise. Most patients who come into our practice are much more educated about osteoporosis than in the past. When we interview them on the first visit, we find the majority of them are aware of the importance of treating osteoporosis.
