Because the structures affected are located near the joint, moving the joint can be extremely painful and may be extremely difficult. Some conditions may cause redness, warmth, or swelling in the affected area.If fever, chills, persistent redness, or swelling occur in a person with soft tissue rheumatic syndrome, the person should see a doctor immediately to rule out infection.ecause the structures affected by soft tissue rheumatic syndromes are near joints, pain in these areas may be mistaken for arthritis. The difference is that arthritis means inflammation in the joint itself, not in the structures around the joint.
