Why do I always have knee pain on rainy days?

Sichuan Modern Hospital reminds you: This is likely to be knee arthritis. In cloudy and rainy weather, the temperature will decrease. At this time, the air pressure will increase, and cell fluid will be stored in the tissue gaps. This adjustment is the normal function of the tissue. In patients with knee arthritis, pathological changes in joint tissue cause this adjustment function to malfunction, causing the diseased tissue to be unable to drain intracellular fluids with changes in external temperature, resulting in local intracellular pressure being higher than surrounding normal tissue. This causes pain and swelling, so when the weather changes, becomes cool or rainy, patients often feel general discomfort and knee joint pain or pain worsens. So, what should you do if you have knee joint pain? First of all, pay attention to keeping warm, close the doors and windows to reduce the entry of wind, cold, and moisture. You must wear more pants when it is cold. Do not shower your feet or take a cold bath in hot weather. When using the air conditioner Long pants should be worn. Secondly, pay attention to strengthening leg exercises to enhance surrounding muscle strength, promote local blood circulation, and increase knee joint stability; and the most important thing is to receive active treatment. Thirdly, patients with knee arthritis should avoid being overworked or overloaded on their knee joints. They should try to avoid going up and down stairs, climbing mountains, standing for long periods of time, and lifting heavy objects as much as possible. They should also try to avoid obesity to avoid increasing the burden on the knee joints. For those who are overweight, , we should actively lose weight and control our weight. Finally, avoid sitting and standing for long periods of time, and change postures frequently to prevent the knee joint from being fixed in one position and exerting too much force. People with severe joint swelling and pain should rest. Avoid activities such as squatting, carrying weights, and going up and down stairs. If you still cannot get relief, it is recommended to go to a professional orthopedic hospital for examination to avoid worsening of the condition.
