Joints are more accurate than meteorological stations! When the weather changes, these three parts of the body are prone to pain.

Joints are like weather stations. When the weather gets cold, they will feel pain and tingling. Bend over, turn around, and even the small joints can click. Is this a problem?

The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced three killers that endanger human health, and bone and joint diseases are juxtaposed with cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Especially in modern society, almost everyone can't escape the problems such as increased life expectancy and degenerative arthritis, so it is urgent to do joint maintenance as soon as possible to avoid pain and inconvenience in old age.

Knee pain, hip pain, wrist pain ... Cai Kaizhou, an orthopedic surgeon who faces patients with various pain problems every day, said that the biggest joint problem is the joint pain of the lower body, including the pain of the knee joint and hip joint, which will make it difficult to move, and the more afraid of pain, the more afraid of moving, the more serious the problem.

The causes of joint pain and arthritis are different, and the treatment methods are also very different. The first is to analyze the symptoms, find out the reasons, and then prescribe the right medicine, as well as preventive health care to relieve pain and discomfort. The most common reasons are these three reasons:

1, degenerative arthritis

The most common degenerative arthritis, the key factor is aging, which mostly occurs in important joints such as knee joint and hip joint, which usually support the whole body weight. However, if the joints are overused, injured, obese, ill for a long time or lack of exercise, degenerative arthritis may also occur in the early stage; Generally speaking, women are more likely to suffer from degenerative arthritis than men, especially after menopause, because of the lack of estrogen protection, the incidence of degenerative arthritis is higher than that of men of the same age.

2. Rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is an immune disease. Any joint of the body may be invaded, and many joints may have symptoms, including swelling, pain and stiffness. The most common joints are the metacarpophalangeal joint and the wrist joint near the palm, which often leads to problems in the left and right symmetrical joints.

It is very likely that there will be "morning stiffness", and when you get up in the morning, it will be stiff and painful, probably more than an hour. You may also feel unwell, tired and sometimes have a fever, which may lead to serious joint injuries in the long run.

3. Gouty arthritis

Gouty arthritis is a metabolic disease. Excessive accumulation of uric acid in the body causes local inflammatory reactions such as redness, swelling, heat and pain. Most gout patients first attack on the big toe, and the pain is fatal. Symptoms may also appear in the feet, knees, wrists, fingers and elbows. It is usually related to metabolic syndrome, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, excessive intake of meat, seafood and alcohol.

If gout recurs for a long time, it is very likely that uric acid crystals will slowly deposit on the joints, forming "gout stones", which will lead to abnormal joint deformation, affect the appearance and even affect the function of hands and feet. High uric acid can also affect cardiovascular and renal function, especially gout stones caused by uric acid will be deposited in renal tubules, affecting renal function, which may lead to renal dialysis in severe cases.

Modern people often sit for a long time, their muscles are weak and their bones are skewed, which is also the cause of joint wear or premature aging. To maintain joints, Cai Kaizhou suggested that all patients and the elderly can do the exercise of "holding the table and stepping forward". By repeatedly holding the table and stepping to exercise the muscles of thighs and abdomen, the upper body can be stabilized, knee discomfort can be improved, and cardiopulmonary function can be strengthened:

◆ Help the table move forward.

Action:

1. Put your hands on the table and your legs on the ground, which is the same width as your pelvis.

2. The legs are just like walking at ordinary times, standing still, and the strength is evenly distributed on the limbs and shoulders.
