Hello, Dr. Ke. As soon as I climbed the stairs recently, my knees hurt slightly, and it can be relieved after resting. My husband said that I might have a knee problem. But I am only 30 years old this year. I usually sit in the office and hardly do much physical labor! I would like to ask you, what is going on with me? Need treatment?
Doctor Ke, a doctor,
If it is only painful when doing certain specific movements (such as climbing stairs), or in certain specific weather conditions, it is more common in the early stage of osteoarthritis .
Don’t think that osteoarthritis is a “geriatric disease”. Many white-collar workers sit in the office for a long time and lack exercise will also be affected.
This pain is related to the lack of nutrition and softening of joint cartilage.
Originally, the cartilage is hard like a "coconut". When external forces pass by, they will be buffered and then transmitted to the bones.
After the cartilage softens, it is like a "glutinous rice". With a press of a pit, external force can pass through it directly and transmit it to the nerve receptors in the contact area between the cartilage and the bone, causing pain.
In the early stage of osteoarthritis, medication is generally not required. Pay attention to rest, exercise step by step, and keep your joints warm. The symptoms will slowly disappear.
In addition, you should also pay attention to persist in exercise.
Only by insisting on exercising to make the muscles strong can the joints be driven; articular cartilage needs to be repeatedly squeezed to undergo nutrition exchange and slowly restore its strength. What exercise should I do with
?
You can choose to walk briskly, ride a bicycle on the ground, squat quietly against the wall, and raise your legs straight. The key is persistence; you should also be careful not to climb mountains or jump exercises. Squat higher when practicing Tai Chi .
