What symptom is osteoarthritis? What are the symptoms of osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a common joint disease, which will cause many adverse effects on life, and there will be various discomfort symptoms. What are the symptoms of osteoarthritis? What are the symptoms of osteoarthritis? The symptoms of osteoarthritis are still very obvious. Let's learn more about the specific symptoms of osteoarthritis and its related contents.

1. Hand symptoms

If femoral arthritis occurs in the interphalangeal joint, the interphalangeal joint is the longest involved, especially the distal interphalangeal joint, and its characteristic change is the inside and outside of the back of the interphalangeal joint, and bone hyperplasia forms a hard nodule. This nodule method is very slow, and only a few patients will eventually have flexion and ectropion deformity of the distal joint. If the first carpometacarpal joint is involved and there is bone hyperplasia, a square hand will be formed, but

2. Knee pain

Knee pain is one of the common symptoms of patients with femoral arthritis. Its early symptoms are mainly pain when going up and down stairs, especially when going downstairs, which usually appears unilaterally or bilaterally alternately.

In addition, there will be delusions of joint enlargement, which are mostly caused by bony hypertrophy and joint cavity effusion. A few patients will also have the phenomenon of fire hypertrophy, and serious patients will have genu varus deformity.

3. Hip joint symptoms

Patients with hip joint inflammation and hunger mainly show pain in the greater trochanter, lateral hip and groin, which can radiate to the knee joint, and the internal rotation and extension of the hip are limited.

4. Symptoms of foot arthritis

If osteoarthritis occurs in the foot, the first toe joint is the most common lesion, which is often caused by wearing tight shoes and repeated trauma. The symptoms are local pain, bony hypertrophy and thumb valgus.

5. Symptoms of vertebral joints

Degenerative diseases of vertebral bodies, intervertebral discs and osteoporotic joints will cause diseases of vertebral bodies in Beijing-Zhuhai and lumbar regions, and local symptoms of pain and stiffness will appear. A few serious patients will have various radiation pain or nervous system symptoms due to lip-like hyperplasia of vertebral body edge and compression of local nerve roots, spinal cord or local blood vessels by bony epiphysis.

6. Prevention methods of osteoarthritis

1. Weight reduction

In recent years, patients with knee osteoarthritis caused by weight have occupied a large proportion in the patient population. Apart from genetic and drug factors, the most important inducement is the eating habits of people in cities today, such as overeating and eating too well, heavy taste, uncontrolled and random food intake, and less exercise, which leads to excessive joint pressure and heavy burden and illness. When people who like sports run and jump, the instantaneous strength of knee joint can reach 5 ~ 6 times of human body weight, and if the weight is too large, the joint endurance will increase by n times. If the knee pain after exercise is still not relieved after 4 weeks of rest, it should be considered as intra-articular injury such as cartilage contusion, ligament injury, meniscus injury, etc., and should not be considered as extra-articular muscle and soft tissue injury.

Second, try not to wear high heels

The stilettos, which are loved by women, are designed to be thin and high-heeled in order to make them look more graceful. The high heels make the metatarsal bones of toes more stressed and squeezed, and at the same time increase the stress of ankles and knees. In order to highlight the lines when women walk, the waist and abdomen must be kept in balance, which will easily lead to ligament relaxation and cartilage wear of the knee joint over time. It is suggested that women who love beauty should wear short shoes with wide heels every day. In addition to wearing high heels and leather shoes, they should wear soft-soled shoes in their lives to absorb shock and balance the load on their knees.

Third, avoid living in a cold and humid environment for a long time

When encountering cloudy and humid weather, the decrease in temperature and the increase in air humidity will make the knee joint uncomfortable, feel sore and feel weak, which are the characteristics of knee arthritis. Therefore, it is very helpful to prevent knee arthritis by adding clothes and quilts according to seasonal changes, reducing outdoor activities, avoiding direct blowing under air conditioning, and keeping the temperature too low. Abnormal seasonal climate and poor living environment are the external causes of knee osteoarthritis. Especially in summer, it is particularly important to maintain the temperature and humidity of residential office space, because the low temperature of air conditioning for a long time is the main external cause of disease.

Fourth, reduce frequent climbing and long-term brisk walking

Many people like to climb mountains, climb stairs and walk briskly to keep fit, but if it is excessive, it will also bring negative effects, which will accelerate the cartilage wear of the knee joint and cause early arthritis. Climbing mountains, climbing mountains and other sports methods are not suitable for everyone. Many patients have osteoarthritis surgery after climbing mountains. Before choosing the habitual fitness exercise method, it is best to go to a professional hospital for an evaluation of the skeletal movement system to avoid sports injuries. Walking exercise is simple and effective. It is recommended to take no more than 1 steps per minute and exercise for no more than 1 hour to protect joints.

5. Taking vitamins A, C, E and D

The rate of knee arthritis in women is far higher than that in men, especially after menopause, because estrogen in the body is greatly reduced, cartilage becomes thin and brittle, and it is not wear-resistant. At this time, it can be said that it is "better late than never" to start a large number of calcium supplements and protect knees. Therefore, for women, the maintenance of health is in the morning and evening, and they should start nursed back to health before the age of 4: besides controlling weight, not being greedy for cold, reducing climbing and choosing suitable exercise, more sunshine, drinking more milk, taking vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E and supplementing vitamin D have good preventive effects on osteoarthritis. Especially in the sun, you can get vitamin D, which is also the main way for the human body to get vitamin D. Vitamin D can help the human body absorb calcium and phosphorus and prevent osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
