The weather in early spring is often entangled with “cold” and “wet”, and such weather is most likely to cause joint pain, aches and pains that are vague and unrelenting. When winter turns to spring and the temperature warms up a little, some people are eager to take off their winter clothes. However, they are unaware of the cold spring weather, which can induce joint pain if they are not careful. Although it is not as cold as winter, early spring is also a good time for joint pain. What can be done to prevent common joint pain during this time? Knee Joint Knee joint disease is a common orthopedic disease, such as knee osteophytes, synovitis, chondromalacia patella, etc., walking under weight, spring hiking, etc. may become the cause of the onset. In particular, some women who love to wear skirts rush to change into skirts after the beginning of spring, resulting in the onset of cold. Take more rest during the attack, reduce stairs and squatting and kneeling postures in daily life, and do not climb mountains. When the weather is cold or wet, pay attention to warmth and moisture, and women should try not to wear skirts and high heels. Diseased knees are more likely to feel cold, and patients are advised to wear knee pads. For obese patients, it is also important to lose weight properly to reduce the pressure on the knee joint. Hip joint Hip joint pain is commonly known as “hip and femur pain”, mostly caused by congenital dysplasia or improper movement in young people, such as congenital acetabular dysplasia and synovitis of the hip joint, while in elderly patients, it is mostly caused by osteoarthritis of the hip joint or ischemic necrosis of the femoral head, and sometimes confused with sciatica. Pain can be caused by cold, moisture and improper exercise. In acute pain, we should pay attention to rest and apply heat to promote local blood circulation, which can relieve pain, as the saying goes. In general, you should avoid walking with heavy weight (such as carrying heavy objects, holding children) and reduce your weight to reduce the weight on the hip joint. For patients with femoral head necrosis, it is best to walk with a double crutch or ride a bicycle. Lumbar spine joint There are many causes of lumbar pain, mostly seen in orthopedics as lumbar disc herniation, the onset of which is related to age, work and study posture, lifestyle habits and other factors, and the onset of cold is one of the common triggering factors. Prevention of lumbar spine pain, first of all to avoid sedentary, sedentary work, to get up every hour to move for a moment. Sitting posture is also important, backward tilt 120 degrees, can make the pressure within the intervertebral disc significantly reduced, then add 3 to 5 cm thick support in the waist, can make the pressure within the disc further reduced. Usually avoid bending over to carry heavy things, should squat to get things; do not sleep too soft Simmons bed; usually sit on a hard bench, do not sit on a low bench; reduce the action of bending over for a long time; usually do not lean on the bed to read and watch TV. Wearing a lumbar girth can protect the lumbar joints, but also has a certain warmth effect. You should also strengthen the exercise of the lumbar back muscles. Shoulder joint Shoulder pain is mostly due to inflammation of the shoulder joint and its surrounding soft tissues, mostly aseptic inflammation, commonly caused by sports injuries, chronic strain injuries, such as frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injury, supraspinatus syndrome, acromion impingement syndrome. Weather changes are a factor in triggering chronic pain. To prevent shoulder pain, in addition to keeping warm, you should avoid carrying heavy objects, holding children, using electronic products such as iPads, computers, and mobile games for long periods of time, and not over-activating the shoulder joint or keeping it in one position for long periods of time, as well as preventing cervical spondylosis. Finger joints Pain in finger joints is usually caused by rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, and is often accompanied by deformity of the finger joints. Since the finger joints are usually exposed to the outside world and have a lot of contact with external objects, they are most susceptible to the influence of external “cold and dampness”. Exposure to cold air, contact with cold water, and contact with metal and other objects that conduct heat and dissipate heat quickly can easily lead to the onset of cold and dampness. Therefore, the warmth of the finger joints should not be relaxed in the early spring. When going out in the morning when the temperature is low, it is better for patients not to expose their hands to the air, and to wear gloves when riding a bike, carrying a basket, or carrying a bag. Once soreness occurs from the cold, you can use a warm bag to relieve the pain. Patients with bad finger joints should use warm water for laundry and washing dishes. To summarize the preventive care for joint pain, in principle, follow the prevention of cold and warmth, rest during the acute period, and exercise during the remission period to promote local blood circulation. For the maintenance of weight-bearing joints, attention should be paid to weight reduction. In conclusion, for joint diseases, it is important to pay attention to the usual prevention, so as to avoid the occurrence and reduce the occurrence. Chinese medicine identification treatment of joint diseases has better efficacy and is conducive to the recovery of the disease.
