In the golden autumn of October, the cool breeze blows, and the autumn is getting stronger, which is a good time to feel comfortable. However, for patients with knee arthritis, such cold weather may not be friendly, because knee pain will occur if you are not careful, especially when you stand up, squat, and go up and down stairs, and more serious daily activities will be affected.
Therefore, many people have this question: Does knee arthritis come from freezing?
In fact, the cause of knee arthritis is not completely clear. It is currently believed that it is related to age, obesity, trauma, etc., and has no direct relationship with cold.
However, if you have knee arthritis, you should pay attention to keeping warm because there is less soft tissue around the knee joint and relatively few muscles. External stimulation can easily affect the inside of the joint through the skin, subcutaneous tissue, joint capsule, etc.
Therefore, knee joint is more sensitive to external temperature changes. Cold stimulation can easily cause vasospasm of the knee joint and aggravate arthritis pain.
In addition to this, do you know what factors may cause or aggravate knee arthritis? Who are at high risk for knee arthritis?
