Some changes in the body are irreversible, including the degenerative changes in the knee joint. Articular cartilage is very important for the knee joint.
It is located between the tibia and the femur and has the effect of strengthening the strength of the knee, but it is the first aging part in the knee joint. During the process of straightening and bending the leg, the articular cartilage will generate considerable friction, which will accumulate. If it reaches a certain limit, it will be damaged even if there is no trauma.
A small knee pain is actually an important sign of a physical problem, and the disease behind it is not so simple. Osteoarthrosis, knee osteoarthritis, tibial plateau fracture, periostitis, exfoliative osteochondritis, septic arthritis, femoral condyle fracture, idiopathic arthralgia syndrome, humeral condyle fracture, comminuted fracture, etc.
A variety of diseases can cause symptoms of knee pain. Some of these diseases can be treated with drugs, others need to use surgical methods, and some may affect your ability to act if not treated properly!
2. The older the more likely the knee hurts?
Knee arthritis is more common in the elderly population, which is mostly due to physiological aging of the knee joint, malnutrition of the articular cartilage, metabolic abnormalities in the knee joint and growth of bone spurs .
3. Can knee pain be awkward?
You can't take a nap on your knees. You must go to the hospital as soon as possible.
If the elderly often rub the cartilage, it is easy to cause bone spurs or cartilage exfoliation. They will dissociate between the knee joints after exfoliation. After accumulating a certain amount, the joint will be stuck and affect the activity.
When the knee joint is swollen, the synovial membrane is generally in an inflammatory state. In this case, it can only make people feel comfortable for a while, and the later pain will be more obvious because this causes the joint effusion to become more and more serious. Therefore, once you feel that you have joint inflammation, pain, stiffness, etc., you must go to the hospital for examination, rather than licking it. This situation is not good.
The elderly kneel, can not smooth the cartilage, it will not alleviate the pain, the process of sputum can only make the cartilage damage worse, leading to more serious pain, and the elderly can not do the forceful leg movement, force the leg will speed up the tibia The rate of aging, which also aggravates the symptoms of pain.
4. What about knee pain?
1. Make sure to rest and stop all the movements that cause pain, especially running, jumping, going up and down the stairs.
2. Appropriate activities. If you walk, you can improve the loop, but the amount of exercise should not be large, especially for climbing or climbing.
3. Strength exercises - insufficient strength in the thigh or buttocks is the main cause of front knee pain.
4. If you have any of the following symptoms, please seek medical advice:
After two weeks of self-treatment, the knee continues to have pain;
Feeling stinging when resting (sitting)
Stagger
Can see or feel the deformation;
Feel the purpleness of the knees, lower leg, feet or ankles (may be a problem with the loop system) or redness (may be infected).
Ways to prevent knee arthritis:
1. Do not move too heavy objects, so that the knee joint is in a relatively relaxed state.
2. Avoid leg injuries.
3. Control weight and prevent obesity. Obesity leads to an increase in the weight of the knee joint and accelerates the wear of the articular cartilage of the knee joint.
4. Avoid knee joints for a long time under load.
