Wet weather can cause many symptoms, the most common one is knee pain, but many people don't know this. I don't know what that is. Let's talk about the causes and solutions of knee pain in wet weather in detail.

Synovitis of knee joint

Synovitis can be caused by many reasons, and cold and wet stimulation is one of them. For example, patients with synovitis cannot completely straighten and bend their knees. If they force themselves to do so, they will cause severe joint pain, and most of the pain positions are not fixed, because the synovium itself is a range of tissues, and there will be obvious pain after pressing the primary position of the injury.

Rheumatoid cold arthritis

Patients with rheumatism and cold joint pain will also have this symptom. Most of these joint pain diseases have no substantial pathological changes, but when stimulated by the environment or temperature, they will cause pain symptoms, which are closely related to the blood circulation around the joints. Pay attention to keep the knee joint warm and avoid catching cold, and apply hot compress appropriately.

Caused by humidity and cold.

Although arthritis is not directly related to joint freezing in medicine, long-term wet and cold environment is definitely a major cause of joint pain, because there is little muscle and fat around the knee and the insulation of bones is weak. Moisture and cold easily penetrate into joints, reducing the lubrication of joint fluid and making blood vessels and ligaments stiff and fragile.
