If you have a knee problem, whether it is a recent episode or a chronic joint condition, the following guidelines are important for you to follow 1. Resting too long is a sign that your muscles are relaxed and lacking in strength. This can make joint pain worse. You need to find an exercise that is safe for your knee joint and stick to it, such as swimming for 20 minutes a day. 2. Exercise. Exercise can enhance muscle strength, increase knee support, strength and stability, and help control weight. The following exercises are highly recommended: walking, swimming, water aerobics and cycling, and tai chi can enhance joint stability. 3. Don’t fall. Patients with joint pain or joint instability are more likely to fall, and when they fall, their joints may suffer more serious damage. In order to avoid falls, make sure to maintain adequate lighting in your home, make sure to install handrails on stairs, do not use non-fixed carpets, do not use bathtubs for bathing, etc. 4, to deal with joint pain reasonably. When a joint injury occurs or an acute attack of chronic pain, be sure to remember the following four points: rest, ice, compression and elevation of the affected limb. This is also known as the “RICE” principle. Rest the knee, use ice for 24 hours to reduce edema, apply pressure to the knee brace to support and protect the joint, and elevate the affected limb during rest. 5. Don’t take your weight lightly. If you are overweight, be sure to lose weight. A little progress is vital for the joint. Body mass index (BMI) = weight (kg)/height (m) squared. 6. Don’t be shy about using mobility aids. Crutches, walkers can share the pressure on your joints and knee pads can help keep your joints stable. 7. Consider Chinese medicine treatment. Chinese medicine fumigation, heat therapy, tui na and acupuncture are all good for chronic joint disease. Of course you will need to find a very regulated medical facility. 8. Don’t let your shoes make your joints more uncomfortable. The use of elastic insoles can reduce the impact on the joints. Patients with knee osteoarthritis can use special insoles. 9.Smart temperature control. Ice can be applied to the joint within 48 hours of the injury. The low temperature can control edema and reduce pain. Ice for 15-20 minutes each time, 3 times a day. 72 hours later change to hot chat. Hot towels on the joint 3-4 times a day for 15-20 minutes each time. 10. Do not compress your joints. High-impact sports can exacerbate joint damage, such as running and jumping. Also avoid sports such as punching and squatting, which can put tremendous pressure on the joints. Climbing mountains and stairs puts a lot of pressure on the patellofemoral joint. 11. Follow the advice of a specialist. New knee pain must be examined by a specialist to clarify the cause of the pain and to take appropriate protective treatment measures to avoid further damage.
