Rheumatism causes and natural treatment There is no real medical condition or disease known as rheumatism — the term is used colloquially for a large number of medical problems with a variety of symptoms. Most commonly, the term is used to describe arthritis, but also includes other kinds of back, joint, and muscular pains. Since you have not described your actual symptoms, it is not really clear what you are suffering from.
However, the common factor in all the disorders grouped under rheumatism is probably chronic pain, and it is extremely unlikely that shaving can cause any such pain in any part of the body.
Shaving upwards in the moustache area would mean shaving against the grain of the hair. It is generally recommended that you do not shave against the grain of your hair as it typically results in more cuts and scratches than usual, as well to ingrown hair, but many men find that they do not get a satisfactorily close shave without doing this.
If the pain you describe as rheumatism is in your upper lip, you should try shaving downwards — with the grain of your hair. You may not get as close a shave, but it might be less painful. If the pain decreases within a week of doing this, you should consider continuing to shave downwards, or else keeping a moustache or finding another way to get rid of your hair, such as a depilatory lotion or powder.
