On rainy days, arthritis will get sick. What can be done to alleviate it?

We often hear people with arthritis poking fun at themselves like this: they can accurately predict rainy days or the temperature drop, because when it gets cold, people with arthritis will inevitably have knee pain. Arthritis is what we usually call old cold legs. Patients have a common problem: the air conditioner blows too much, the temperature drops, and the air humidity is high, so their ankles and knees will be painful. So how can we alleviate some of this pain? First of all, we should understand the causes of the formation of old cold legs. First, the causes of the formation of old cold legs < P > The medical term for old cold legs is knee osteoarthritis, which is a non-inflammatory degenerative disease. The main cause is the local neurovascular soft tissue dysfunction caused by cold and humid environment or some diseases. In the view of Chinese medicine, this is the pain caused by wind, cold, evil and dampness entering the human body, which makes the vein impassable. Having old cold legs for a long time will not only affect the athletic ability of legs and feet, but may even cause secondary injuries caused by the leverage of ligaments, bones and muscles if we don't pay attention to them. If it is serious, it will make the whole leg and foot lose the function of action. If you want to avoid this terrible old cold leg, you must get rid of the following habits. Second, the habit of causing old cold legs

First of all, many people will make a problem, that is, they put clothes on their bodies directly before they are dried. Some people may put them on when clothes are dried in a semi-wet state because they are anxious or have nothing to wear. In fact, this practice is particularly easy to catch old cold legs, especially in the south where the air humidity is particularly high, and there is no protection of muscles and fat, so there is not enough in itself. Inappropriate exercise can also cause old cold legs. For example, mountain climbing is the most typical exercise, which is particularly harmful to the knee joint. Therefore, people with weak physical fitness should try not to choose mountain climbing as a more intense exercise. If you want to climb, you must also protect your knees and warm them up before going up the mountain. Also, for girls, wearing short skirts, bare knees and high heels is also easy to cause old cold legs. Third, how to protect the knee joint

In addition to avoiding these habits mentioned above, we should also focus on protecting our knee joint in normal times. The first and most important thing is to keep the knee warm, especially in rainy days or in humid weather. In addition, if you get caught in the rain, you should change your wet clothes in time. In addition, proper exercise can prevent muscle atrophy and enhance blood circulation in the legs. If you have a cold leg problem, you can choose traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and moxibustion to adjust according to your own situation.
