Introduction: Aging is a normal physiological phenomenon that everyone cannot avoid in life. Everyone will face aging. Over time, obvious spots and wrinkles will appear on the face. Aging will also affect the development of bones, making it easy to develop osteoporosis .
When people reach a certain age, their body functions will also decline. Many people have more or less experienced the phenomenon of weak knees when walking, especially many middle-aged and elderly people find that their knees suddenly become soft and prone to fall when walking. This makes many people feel very confused. The ground is obviously very flat, why does their knees suddenly become soft?
In fact, this phenomenon is not only seen in middle-aged and elderly people, but also in many young people's knees suddenly become soft when they walk normally without any external influence, and return to normal in less than two seconds.

What's wrong with the knee making a "click" sound?
, physiological pop
This sound is relatively common. Its sound is relatively clear and painless, which is the same as the clicking sound when moving joints and breaking fingers in daily activities.
This sound on the knee is also a normal phenomenon, because the physiological structure of the knee is special. There are gas and joint fluid in the joint capsule at the knee joint. When we get up, the gas and joint fluid in the joint vibrate together, and when the knee rebounds, a crisp sound will be made, which is not harmful to health.
But it is best for everyone to avoid this sound as it may cause a decrease in joint strength and affect joint strength.
2, Meniscus injury
Meniscus is the thin outer surface and thick inner meniscus on both sides of the knee joint muscles and bone platform. It can maintain the stability of the knee and play a role in buffering pressure. When the meniscus is damaged, the knee will have some clicking sound when getting up.
Most of the sounds are relatively clear and occur very frequently. If not treated in time, it will lead to increased meniscus damage, which will lead to the occurrence of osteoarthritis.
3, Patellar softening
1 Chronic injury to the surface of the patellar cartilage will cause swelling and breaking of the cartilage of the knee joint and femoral condyle. This will cause sounds accompanied by sounds in the knee when getting up, and the knee will also have swelling, pain and other discomfort. The more severe the wear of the soft surface of the patellar, the more obvious the pain and sound symptoms will occur.
4, osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a chronic joint disease that mainly damages joint cartilage disease and causes damage to the entire joint tissue. The cause of the disease is not clear, but it is generally believed to be related to factors such as inflammation, obesity, joint instability, etc.
Once the patient is sick, the knee joint often experiences pain and swelling. Due to the stimulation of inflammation, the muscles around the knee joints will suddenly spasm, causing people to suddenly soften their legs when walking.
In short, if you often experience weak legs and sounds when walking are related to the above four reasons, the reasons for overweight or pregnant women may be related to calcium deficiency.
When this symptom occurs repeatedly, you must not relax your vigilance. It is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations quickly and give corresponding treatment according to the cause of the disease, which can maximize the improvement of this abnormal symptoms.

When walking, my knee suddenly became "soft". What is the reason? The doctor said: Pay attention to
, , the body lacks calcium
, the body needs calcium during its development. If the body lacks calcium, the health of the bones will also be affected, which will damage the joints and reduce the bone density of , and will also increase the chance of osteoporosis. In addition, it will also be accompanied by abnormal situations of soreness and weakness in the knees, so you should appropriately supplement calcium for the body.
2. Joint aging
Excessive movement and wear will cause joint aging. When walking, the joints cannot withstand the pressure brought by the body. At this time, the joints become soft, so the knees will suddenly become soft.
3, joint ligament injury
When the body is walking, there will be slight bending habitually. At this time, the overall stability is relatively poor, and the effect of external forces will cause damage to the knee cruciate ligament.
joint ligaments are damaged, legs are weak, and the knees will suddenly become soft or even locally swelled when walking.
4, Synovitis
For patients with synovitis, it will also hinder the normal functioning of lower limbs, causing abnormal joint pain and joint redness and swelling. At the same time, synovitis will also compress the knee joint and affect normal walking, resulting in weak knees.
5, osteoporosis
After medical research, it was found that the probability of middle-aged and elderly people suffering from osteoporosis is as high as 65%. Due to the loss of calcium in the body, it affects the normal operation of bones and joints, and bone softening occurs, which indirectly affects the body's movement ability while inducing osteoporosis.
The body's ability to withstand movement exceeds a certain standard range limit, thus presenting inflammation, especially when walking, the cartilage tissue suffers a certain degree of friction and stimulation reaction , which is also called bone hyperplasia.

How to protect the knee joint?
. Improve exercise habits
In daily life, everyone should avoid long-term knee injuries. For example, before climbing a mountain and downstairs, jumping and running, you should do a good job of warming up to change the body from a static state to an exercise state, and increase muscle metabolism to reduce the possibility of knee injury during exercise.
2. Improve living habits
In daily life, you should pay attention to controlling your weight to avoid overweight to bring heavy burden to the knee joints. At the same time, you should also pay attention to keeping your knees warm and avoid sterile inflammation caused by cold wind stimulation, which will affect your health and quality of life.
3. Timely calcium supplementation
The main reason for sudden softening of the knee joint is also related to the body's lack of calcium. In daily life, you should eat more calcium-rich foods and develop the good habit of basking in the sun more. This can improve the body's absorption and utilization of vitamin D, prevent calcium loss, and protect bone health.
