What should I do if I blow the air conditioner for a long time and my legs are sore?

Due to the hot outdoor weather and indoor air conditioning, the temperature becomes lower, which makes the environmental temperature difference larger.

In cold weather, blood flow is slow, fibrinogen in blood or joint synovial fluid increases, adrenaline content in blood increases, globulin agglutination and so on. , make synovial fluid viscosity increase, joint activity resistance increase, aggravate joint pain. When the temperature difference changes greatly, the liquid in the joint tissue gap can accumulate, which leads to the increase of intracellular pressure and serious joint pain and swelling.
