My legs ache after the rain. What happened to my leg now?

There is no muscle at the joints, which is easy to be invaded by cold and moisture. Over time, leg joints are prone to soreness, especially in rainy days.

Many people should have had the experience that when it rains, their legs and feet will ache. What is the reason? This may be the invasion of moisture and cold at the joints of the legs. You can think carefully about whether your joints are all ⅵ when you exercise, because there is no muscle at the joints, so it is easy to be invaded by cold and moisture. Over time, your leg joints are prone to pain, especially in rainy days.

From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, this is a common manifestation of damp evil. Damp-evil is turbid and sticky, so symptoms such as weight, joint pain and weakness of limbs often appear after pathogenic damp-evil, also known as "damp arthralgia". Most of its symptoms are lingering and recurrent, but the pain caused is not very severe. Corresponding to the four seasons, the humidity in summer is heavier, so patients who feel wet pain at this time often have aggravated symptoms. In addition, dampness is often mixed with wind-cold and is called "wind-cold-dampness arthralgia".

In addition, if the legs are always sore on cloudy days, there is a great possibility of rheumatoid arthritis. In order to prevent the disease from getting worse, it is necessary to go to a specialized hospital for detailed examination and early diagnosis and treatment. Rheumatoid arthritis is a common acute and chronic connective tissue inflammatory disease, characterized by mild to moderate fever and wandering polyarthritis. Most of the joints involved are knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, wrists and other big joints, which usually transfer from one joint to another, and the focus is red, swollen and burning locally. Some patients also have several joints at the same time, while atypical patients only have joint pain and no other inflammatory manifestations. Acute inflammation usually subsides in 2-4 weeks without sequelae, but it often recurs. The harm of rheumatoid arthritis is quite great. Once an abnormality is found, the principle of early detection and early treatment should be followed.

So, what can be done to alleviate or prevent this situation? First of all, we should strengthen exercise. People who insist on physical exercise are physically strong and have strong disease resistance, and their ability to resist wind, cold and dampness is much stronger than those who have never exercised. It is of great benefit to take part in physical exercise regularly, such as health gymnastics, Qigong, Tai Ji Chuan, broadcast gymnastics, walking and so on. In addition, don't let the joints catch cold. There is no muscle at the joints, so it is easy to catch cold. For example, knees and elbows are easy places to catch cold. Knee pads and the like can be used to keep joints warm and prevent catching cold. Besides, we should avoid humid environment. As we said just now, the legs are attacked by cold and dampness, and it is best to avoid it in the face of humid environment, otherwise moisture will continue to invade the joints.
