Knee pain is not necessarily arthritis! The doctor teaches you to find out the real cause of knee pain.

Does Zhang Chengyu want to "fall down and get up again" after watching TV advertisements introducing healthy food? Huang Zirong, an orthopedic surgeon in Chang 'an Hospital, once said in an interview that chondroitin, glucosamine and other health foods are ineffective when eaten in severe degenerative arthritis. Moreover, there are many reasons for knee pain. It's not just degenerative arthritis that causes knee pain. It is likely to cost us money, but it has not achieved the expected effect. Instead, find out the correct cause of knee pain, such as whether you have exercised excessively recently. Or are there other basic diseases? Only by finding out the reasons behind knee pain can the problem of knee pain be cured. According to an article edited by William Morrison, an orthopedic surgeon who has been appointed by Michigan State University and the University of Mississippi, the causes of chronic knee pain may include: osteoarthritis: joint degeneration causes pain, inflammation and joint deformation. Tendinitis: The pain in the front of the knee is more serious when climbing mountains, stairs and uphill. Bursitis: Inflammation caused by repeated overuse or injury of the knee. Chondromalacia patellae: cartilage injury below the kneecap. Gout: arthritis caused by uric acid accumulation. Baker's cyst: caused by synovial fluid accumulation in the posterior knee joint. Rheumatoid arthritis: chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease, which may cause pain, swelling, joint degeneration, bone erosion and other problems. Dislocation of knee joint: mostly caused by trauma. Meniscus tear: Rupture of one or more cartilages of the knee joint. Ligament rupture: the injury of four ligaments around the knee joint, of which the anterior cruciate ligament is the most fragile. Bone tumor: Osteosarcoma is the most common and has a high degree of malignancy. Focus of this article: What should I do about knee pain? Which subject does knee pain see? What to eat with knee pain? Prevention and Care of Knee Pain Causes of Knee Pain 1: Living habits lead to strenuous exercise: Japanese chiropractor Duan Liyang Shibuya said that high-intensity exercise leads to muscle fatigue. If there is no proper rest, the muscles do not have enough strength to support the knee, and the load on the knee will increase, leading to knee pain and even articular cartilage wear. Sudden excess of normal exercise: Sudden overload of muscles over habitual exercise can easily cause knee pain. For example, people who seldom exercise suddenly go climbing and jogging, which will make the muscles of hips and legs stiff and tight, lead to the imbalance of muscles supporting knees, aggravate joint load and lead to knee pain. Weakness of thigh muscles: If the usual amount of exercise or insufficient exercise, it will cause insufficient strength of thigh muscles, which will make it difficult for muscles to support body weight and increase the burden on knees, which will easily lead to inflammation and pain in the long run. Inappropriate shoes: Inappropriate shoes or high heels will force our bodies to walk in a bad posture, and the body will put more pressure on the knees in order not to fall, causing pain. The ground is easy to slip: the gravel road or the ground is slippery and easy to fall, and in order to prevent falling, our body will automatically try to balance and maintain stability through violent movements. However, this sudden strong control of the body will bring great burden to the knee, causing pain, sprain and even ligament damage. Obesity: Even if you just walk, your knees have to bear three times your own weight. If you gain weight 10 kg, it is equivalent to an increase of 30 kg of load on your knees. Over time, your knees are prone to inflammation and pain. Does Zhang Chengyu want to "fall down and get up again" after watching TV advertisements introducing healthy food?

Over time, your knees are prone to inflammation and pain. Causes of knee pain: Several diseases can cause common knee pain: Degenerative arthritis Degenerative arthritis is a very common joint disease. Wu Bogui, director of Taipei Rongzong Skeletal Muscle Tumor Treatment and Research Center, once pointed out in the article that degenerative arthritis refers to cartilage in joints, which is worn out due to age and overuse, resulting in stiffness, pain, deformation and swelling of the knee joint. With the aggravation of cartilage wear, O-legs may gradually form, which will make the load on the inner side of the knee joint heavier, make cartilage wear worse faster, and lead to a vicious circle. Over time, it may have to be treated by artificial joint replacement surgery. Inflammation of Patellar Ligament Patellar ligament is a ligament connecting the patella (kneecap) and tibia (long bone on the inside of the calf), so that the knee can be straightened. When it is inflamed, it can cause knee pain. Su Jingyuan, an associate professor of orthopedics in Higher Medical College, once pointed out in the article that patellar ligament inflammation is usually caused by excessive use of knee joint, which is common in patients with patellar ligament inflammation caused by excessive use of knee joint in climbing, running, jumping and lifting weights. In severe cases, it may even cause ligament rupture and must be passed. Zhou Congzhe, an outpatient physician of goose foot tendinitis and bursitis osteopathy, once pointed out in the article that the appearance of goose foot tendon is similar to that of goose foot, which is located inside the knee joint and is a combined tendon structure composed of three muscles, such as semitendinosus. If there is inflammation or bursitis here, it is difficult to distinguish bursitis from goose foot myositis, so the two are often discussed together. However, tendinitis and bursitis of goose's foot are usually caused by trauma such as sprain, or too tight tendon of goose's foot and excessive friction of bursa of fabricius. Degenerative arthritis patients, overweight people, people who have to sit for a long time at work, diabetics, people who have poor sitting posture for a long time, long-distance runners, people with ligament diseases and people with tumors on the inside of their knees are all high-risk groups suffering from goose foot tendinitis, so special attention should be paid. Myofascial pain syndrome is easy to cause myofascial pain due to emotional stress such as long-term posture error, muscle overload, depression and tension. Myofascial pain is characterized by a pain point in the muscle, which will spread to other places after being affected by * * * *. In addition to pain, it can also lead to stiff knees and limited activities, especially when getting up early. Xu Hongzhi, a doctor at Chiayi Chang Gung Hospital, once pointed out in the article that patients with myofascial pain syndrome often have symptoms caused by playing basketball, badminton, climbing mountains and stairs. After seeing a doctor, the doctor can evaluate whether to carry out local injection and then cooperate with rehabilitation treatment. Gout gout refers to joint inflammation and swelling caused by excessive uric acid in the body, which is common in heel, thumb, knee and elbow. Symptoms include redness, pain and fever. Chronic gout may also cause urinary calculi, renal failure, heart disease and other diseases, causing more health hazards. Chen Jianyu, an orthopedic surgeon in the Postal Hospital, once pointed out in an article that to prevent gout, one must abstain from drinking, drink more than 2000cc of water every day and avoid eating high-quality food. Rheumatoid arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis is related to abnormal autoimmune system. The main symptoms are stiff fingers, swelling and pain when getting up in the morning. Symptoms may also occur in the knees and joints of the whole body, and they will attack symmetrically, such as the simultaneous attack of the left and right knees and the left and right wrists. Mild symptoms may only cause local stiffness and pain, while severe symptoms may cause joint pain, injury and even disability. What about knee pain? Which subject does knee pain see? What should I do with the symptoms of knee pain? Because the symptoms of knee pain are similar, we can't find the exact cause of knee pain, so we need to find a professional doctor for diagnosis. Evaluation and treatment by professional doctors is the shortest way to restore mobility. So which subject should I hang to see a doctor? According to the newsletter of the Health Insurance Bureau, orthopedics and rehabilitation are complementary. If you have joint symptoms such as knee pain, you can register in orthopedics and rehabilitation department, and professional doctors will treat or refer the symptoms, which can be properly treated. What to eat with knee pain? If you belong to the high-risk group of degenerative arthritis, it is recommended to eat ginger to prevent degenerative arthritis: distinguished professor Watanabe of Chiba University said that ginger contains capsaicin, which can resist inflammation and improve knee pain. Long-term inflammation of the knee will destroy cartilage, and eating ginger can prevent cartilage wear and prevent degenerative arthritis. If you want to prevent degenerative arthritis by eating ginger, it is recommended to eat 60 grams of ginger every day. In addition, the University of Miami conducted an experiment to divide 26 1 degenerative arthritis patients into two groups: patients who take ginger extract every day and patients who don't take it. After six weeks, it was found that the pain of the group taking ginger extract was reduced by 40% on average. MedlinePlus, the health education information website of the National Library of Medicine, points out that the initial mild knee pain can be treated in the following ways: rest: avoid activities that cause pain and avoid putting weight on your knees. Ice: After covering your knees with a towel, ice for 15 minutes every hour on the first day, and then at least 4 times a day. Don't fall asleep during ice compress to avoid skin frostbite caused by long-term low temperature. Raise your knees to avoid swelling. Use elastic bandages or sheaths to support the knees and reduce swelling. Take appropriate painkillers under the guidance of doctors and pharmacists. When sleeping, you can put a pillow under your knees or between your knees. Ways to relieve and prevent knee pain: warm up before exercise and close your eyes after exercise, so that quadriceps femoris and paravertebral muscles before and after thigh can be stretched. Don't jog when going downhill, walk instead. Choose cycling, swimming and other sports. When jogging with less exercise, you should choose a place with a flat and soft surface, such as a playground track instead of cement or sidewalk. Overweight people should lose weight. For every 0.5 kg increase in weight, the pressure on the knees will be 2.25 kg more when going up and down the stairs. People with flat feet should use special insoles to provide support. Choose jogging shoes with good quality, suitable for your foot type and sufficient buffer. References: Health Hotline/Health/Chronic Knee Pain # Causes medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003187.
