Patients with pain, dysethesias, or dysfunction of an extremity may present to a neurologist or rheumatologist for the same complaints. A careful history, physical examination, and a simple investigation will usually, but not always, allow for assignment to the proper clinic. This article addresses the ground shared by these two specialties with particular emphasis on common diseases.
患有肢体疼痛、感觉异常或功能障碍的患者可能会因同样的症状就诊于神经科医生或风湿科医生。详细的病史、体格检查以及一项简单的检查通常(但并非总是)能够确定将患者分配到合适的科室。本文论述了这两个专科的共同领域,尤其着重于常见疾病。
