His choice in pursuing this path was a decision largely driven by the desire to help his loved ones who were afflicted with severe illnesses.

This personal experience also led him to specialise in the field of rheumatology, which encompasses various arthritic and autoimmune diseases that can be severely debilitating.

25 years on, A/Prof Leong remains as committed as ever to making a positive impact in his patientsโ€™ lives, helping them cope with their condition for a better quality of life.

Spondyloarthropathy is a family of autoimmune diseases characterised by chronic joint pain, swelling and inflammation in the lower back.

Symptoms of this condition usually develop before the age of 45, yet many tend to downplay the condition or confuse the signs with other types of pain.

However, when symptoms worsen, prompt assessment is necessary to facilitate early treatment.

With early treatment, this helps prevent disease progression and complications. Treatment of spondyloarthropathy involves the use of painkillers to relieve pain and swelling, or disease-modifying drugs and biologics to help inhibit inflammation.

Should you be experiencing any of these symptoms, seek help from an experienced rheumatologist. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฎ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ

Although lupus is an autoimmune disease that has no known cure, there are still effective ways to help those afflicted with the condition lead healthier and more comfortable lives.

Aimed at keeping symptoms under control and preventing disease progression, treatment for lupus includes:

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a form of arthritis that is closely linked to psoriasis, which not only causes joint inflammation but also red and scaly skin rash.

There are 5 types of PsA:

๐—ฆ๐˜†๐—บ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฐ
The most common type of PsA, where joints on both sides of the body are simultaneously affected.

๐—”๐˜€๐˜†๐—บ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฐ
A milder form of PsA that involves different joints on each side of the body.

๐——๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—น
This causes inflammation and stiffness near the ends of fingers and toes, with white spots on nails that are pitted and lifted.

๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜†๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜€
Presents with pain and stiffness in the neck and spine.

The most severe type of PsA that deforms and destroys small joints at ends of fingers and toes.

Regardless of type, PsA can be treated with prescribed medications like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs to alleviate symptoms and minimise joint damage.

For consultation with a rheumatologist experienced in treating PsA, reach out at ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฎ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ.

Having cared for patients with rheumatic diseases for over 25 years, senior consultant rheumatologist ๐—”/๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ž๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—›๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด understands how crucial it is to start treatment early.

Rheumatic conditions are diseases that affect the joints and connective tissues, including various kinds of arthritis and autoimmune diseases.

According to A/Prof Leong, autoimmune diseases have no cures but tend to settle down over time. Treatment to alleviate symptoms must be done aggressively to mitigate the overall damage.

With proactive and targeted intervention, symptoms can be effectively brought under control, enabling patients to cope better with their condition and achieve an improved quality of life.

Although the bodyโ€™s immune system is generally effective at protecting the body from infections, it can sometimes malfunction and instead attack itself, leading to what is known as an ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—บ๐—บ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ.

When this happens, the immune system starts to attack healthy tissues in the body, causing tissue inflammation.

Among older adults, two such common autoimmune diseases include:

This occurs when the bodyโ€™s white blood cells mistakenly attack the muscles, causing pain, inflammation and stiffness.

A connective-tissue disease that affects the muscles and skin, typically presenting as muscle weakness, periodic rashes and calcium deposits under the skin.

Fortunately, both conditions can be effectively controlled with the use of immunosuppressive drugs to alleviate symptoms and prevent further damage.

When multiple joints around the body are simultaneously inflamed, typically starting from the hands and feet, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have occurred.

Joint pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis tends to be worse after waking up in the morning or after periods of inactivity.

As the disease progresses, the joints will become warm and tender to touch, and some may experience difficulty bending the fingers and toes.

Aside from these symptoms, other indications of rheumatoid arthritis include fatigue, poor appetite, weight loss, fever and sweating.

If youโ€™ve been experiencing persistent joint pain on both sides of the body, at the same time and extent, consult a rheumatologist for assessment and treatment. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฎ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ

Ankylosing spondylitis is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the spine and joints in the lower back.

When left untreated, the chronic inflammation of the spine and sacroiliac joints can lead to the fusion of spinal bones, resulting in the loss of spine mobility.

Other complications that may arise with untreated cases of ankylosing spondylitis include difficulty breathing, eye inflammation and increased risk of osteoporosis.

Thankfully, through early intervention with medications, physiotherapy and exercise, ankylosing spondylitis can be managed effectively.

Known as a great imitator, lupus can be hard to diagnose due to it having similar symptoms to many other illnesses.

Back when there was limited awareness and support for lupus patients, ๐—”/๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ž๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—›๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด recognised the need for a dedicated support system. Together with a fellow doctor and a group of patients, he initiated the Lupus Association Singapore (LAS).

Since its inception, LAS has offered vital support to the lupus community through educational talks, hospital visits, and most importantly, a financial welfare scheme that helps patients manage the cost of care.

Through these efforts, A/Prof Leong hopes to rally more support for lupus patients and raise public awareness of this condition.

Itโ€™s common for people to experience muscular aches, however, should the pain and weakness in the muscles persist and hinder simple everyday tasks, it may suggest a form of inflammatory muscle disease (myositis).

Myositis is the inflammation of muscles in the body, which tends to affect larger muscle groups such as the shoulders, back and thighs.

This condition is often associated with viral infection, but it can also manifest as a sign of a more serious condition like an autoimmune condition or cancer.

With the help of an experienced rheumatologist, myositis can be diagnosed and managed before complications like heart and lung problems can occur.

Should you notice persistent muscular pain and weakness, reach out for a detailed diagnosis today. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฎ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ

An autoimmune disease that targets the tear- and saliva-producing glands, Sjogrenโ€™s syndrome can lead to severe dry eyes and mouth.

Although Sjogrenโ€™s syndrome can affect anyone at any age, certain factors can make one more susceptible to the condition.

With Sjogrenโ€™s syndrome, symptoms could also vary from person to person and mimic those of other conditions, making it tricky to diagnose.

This is why, getting assessed by an experienced rheumatologist is crucial. With proper diagnosis, a targeted treatment plan can be tailored to ensure quality outcomes.

If you are at risk of Sjogrenโ€™s syndrome and have experienced dry eyes and dry mouth, contact our rheumatology clinic for detailed examination. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฎ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ
