When the weather turns cool, more patients go to the orthopedic department, many of them are because of the cool summer, sleeping in the air-conditioned room, so that the lumbar spondylosis, cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder have different degrees of attack, the discomfort of patients in hot weather is mild, but in recent days the temperature has dropped, these “invisible” bone disease have shown up. This year’s thirty-year-old Ms. Wu is not obese, but has a fatal weakness, that is, especially afraid of heat. “In addition to opening the windows every morning to circulate air, my home air conditioning has been running, although electricity costs may be a lot more than other households, but can relieve the heat, I am willing to accept.” Ms. Wu said that although it is now autumn, but she did not remove the cooler from the bed, because “I feel particularly comfortable sleeping on the cooler at night. Near September, the temperature dropped significantly, although sometimes the noon temperature is slightly higher, but the sun went down can still feel the obvious coolness. Many times, after a busy day, Ms. Wu out of the office, they feel their neck and shoulders are a little stiff, turn a little can also hear the “creaking” sound. Ms. Wu described: “always feel like their neck and waist is not their own, do not move okay, a move will feel the whole muscle of the joint along with the soreness.” In addition, she also felt a few tendons in her back tense, even accompanied by panic, chest tightness and general weakness and other symptoms. Plagued by these problems, Ms. Wu’s sleep quality also decreased, and her dull mind not only prevented her from working properly, but also became very irritable. After a week of symptoms, the helpless Ms. Wu went into the hospital office, where the orthopedic surgeon told her that sleeping on a cool mat in an air-conditioned room, especially a bamboo mat, is the easiest way to invade joints such as the cervical and lumbar vertebrae, and the coolness of the air conditioner will reduce the speed of blood circulation in the joints, resulting in insufficient blood supply. Even physically fit people will also appear muscle ligament stiffness, muscle inflammation, localized soreness or pillow symptoms. Some “invisible” cervical and lumbar spine disease patients originally symptoms are not serious, but in the whole hot summer are greedy for air conditioning, sleeping mat, a few months down these bone diseases have also been “appearing”. Doctors told reporters that in the past, bone and joint diseases are often related to heavy labor and unreasonable exercise, and now these diseases are more favorable to “office workers”, their work posture is the body bent forward, staring at the computer, and this posture is often maintained for more than 8 hours. Especially in summer, the office is a long time the cold open, cervical and lumbar fatigue plus cold, it is more likely to be a problem. In addition, after a whole summer of air conditioning stimulation, women are also prone to “air conditioning legs”. This is due to the lowest indoor temperature near the ground, people’s legs in the ground for a long time in the low temperature, exposed knees are easily stimulated, to the end of summer when the weather turns cool, many women appear sore legs, knee swelling and other symptoms. Doctors recommend that patients with cervical bone and joint disease is best not to use a cool mat, sleep at night or in the office when the best cover a blanket or thin quilt, especially to avoid the shoulders, spine, abdomen cold.
