In this case, it is easy to cause joint pain. This is actually a manifestation of ischemia, very normal, but many middle-aged and elderly people once the pain is immediately rest practice is very wrong. The consequences of not exercising will cause muscle atrophy, middle-aged and elderly people’s joints are more prone to wear and tear, and finally cause joint diseases. What should be done? Do not not exercise, but also do not exercise strenuously, to let the joints have a slow process of adaptation. Let the joints have a slow adaptation process. Without weight bearing, let the joints “move” healthily. In the process of exercise, remember to gradual, but also to do a good job of keeping warm. Special reminder, middle-aged and elderly people in sports should not wear knee pads.

Three major knee care misunderstandings, be careful not to repeat In daily life, many people encounter joint problems always do not pay attention to, or there are cognitive or care misunderstandings. The following are three common ones. 1, knee pain ≠ calcium deficiency Many people will have this idea: joint pain is caused by calcium deficiency.

At the beginning of the knee cartilage damage lesions in a very small range or very light degree, only going upstairs or downstairs in the patellar cartilage is too much pressure in the case of pain, and when walking on a flat surface patella and femur pressure is very small, the pain does not exist. Don’t ignore it at this point, it’s the bone and joint sending you danger signals. When the cartilage is rough or has small cracks, the deterioration of the knee joint can be slowed down if cartilage repair and lubrication or reduction of wear and tear can be facilitated at this time. Once the cartilage surface is damaged, it becomes moderately damaged if it is not repaired within a certain period of time. Therefore, active remedial measures should be taken when the articular cartilage is damaged at an early stage. How to prevent knee and osteoarthritic degeneration? Obesity is an important causative factor in the development of this disease. Weight loss can prevent or minimize joint damage and reduce the pressure on the diseased joints.
