Knee pain is a common problem for many people, and in recovery, many people will say, "My knee hurts because I caught a cold last night," but is there a relationship between knee pain and catching a cold?

Knee pain is just a symptom, and pain can be caused by many things; it is important to first determine what is the immediate cause of this pain.

It could be trauma, it could be a structural injury such as meniscus, ligament, muscle strain, fracture, synovitis, etc.; it could be tuberculosis, cancer, rheumatism; it could be that there is no structural problem, it could be posture, weight, strain, etc. So if you have knee pain you must first look for the cause and what is causing your pain.

Can getting cold cause knee pain? What does it have to do with pain?

If it is caused by trauma, then it is easy to understand that it is due to structural damage and irritation of the surrounding nerves that produces the pain, and then at that point some surgical treatment is required to help you repair the structure.

If it is rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis from Western medicine, in fact, the cause of the disease has not been found, is currently believed to be closely related to the human hemolytic streptococcal infection;

In the case of rheumatoid arthritis, it is an autoimmune disease; in both of these diseases, many people feel that it is the cold that causes their lesions; in fact, this is incorrect, and it would be more accurate to say that the cold may have aggravated their feelings of pain, and that the cold is not what caused them to develop rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis.

It is believed that patients with rheumatoid arthritis, insufficient peripheral blood circulation, weak adaptability to temperature, cold, slow blood flow, elevated adrenaline levels in the blood, globulin coagulation, resulting in increased viscosity of synovial fluid in the joint cavity, increasing the resistance of the joints to activity, so you will feel pain; and rheumatoid arthritis autoimmune response is excessive, so sensitive to pain. So for rheumatoid rheumatoid arthritis, in addition to keeping warm to relieve the symptoms, but also other treatments such as medication, exercise therapy and so on.

In addition to the above two kinds of arthritis, the most common is actually [osteoarthritis (as shown)], osteoarthritis is a kind of degenerative changes, which is a normal physiological changes in the human body, except that some people due to a variety of internal and external factors aggravate the rate of degeneration, such as excessive body weight, excessive exercise, insufficient exercise, etc.; and cold does not lead to osteoarthritis. Excessive weight and exercise are due to accelerated strain because the body can't handle the load, and insufficient exercise is due to accelerated degeneration of the joints caused by muscle atrophy and lack of stability of the knee joints. Similarly, the cold is only these people feel more pain may be due to insufficient peripheral blood circulation caused by the accumulation of local fatigue material or increased nerve sensitivity.

In fact, when we meet many people in clinical rehabilitation, I will patiently explain to them not to be afraid of getting cold; this may be because Chinese medicine has a greater influence on the Chinese people, who believe that cold is a kind of evil that leads to all kinds of diseases;

So we are not against hot compresses for people with knee pain, we can use hot compresses to accelerate blood circulation and slow down the feeling of pain; but think about it, can hot compresses and warmth enhance our muscle strength? Can it improve our stability? No, because the knee is not strong enough, too weak, is the root of our knee pain is not good, warming hot compresses just to relieve the symptoms of the moment. So for people with osteoarthritis, or non-specific knee pain, it is important to combine the intervention with exercise therapy for better results, such as strengthening the knee, hip strength and balance.

Nothing can be viewed from one side, it is necessary to look at the problem dialectically: there is still a relationship between knee pain and exposure to cold, which can make us feel more pain and sensitivity; but exposure to cold is not the cause of the arthritis that produces our arthritis.So, want to make your joints stronger? Come on in for some exercise rehab, and feel free to follow my headline Q&A, which is full of knee pain dry runs!

Most of the friends with bad knees have this experience: when it is cloudy and raining and the weather turns cold, the knee will have pain, sometimes more accurate than the weather forecast! There are also some patients in the hot summer, blowing the air conditioning is incredibly cozy, but also unconsciously protect their knees, because the knee pain is afraid, afraid of a cold on the disease. So, knee pain and cold in the end there is no relationship? Of course there is, and there is a very close relationship.

Why does the knee hurt?

There are many reasons for knee pain, the most common reasons are: aging degeneration of the knee joint, meniscus injury, synovitis, chondromalacia patellae and so on, the most common is the degeneration of the knee joint, which is manifested as cartilage exfoliation, synovial hyperplasia and osteomalacia and so on.

Normal knee joint without nerve tissue structure, there is no pain, once there is a cartilage injury, as if the white wall that layer of white ash off, will reveal the bottom of the cement layer, that is, the subchondral bone, this layer of tissue structure is rich in nerve tissue, resulting in pain is not surprising. In addition, too much weight-bearing activities will lead to increase the load imposed on the knee joint, resulting in the lower limb biological force line abnormality, over time, the formation of the knee joint inversion or eversion deformity, the surrounding soft tissue structure is out of balance, too loose or too tight, etc., weakening its strength, further aggravate the deformity, so a vicious circle, and ultimately produce an irrecoverable deformity, the occurrence of the knee joint instability, prompted by osteophytes.

The effects of a cold knee on the knee

As the old saying goes, "Passing is not pain, pain is not pain". Knee joint in the low temperature environment, local blood slow down, poor circulation, knee joint tissue structure ischemia and lack of oxygen, affecting its metabolism, a large number of metabolic wastes can not be effectively discharged in a timely manner, resulting in lactic acid and other harmful substances, stimulating the subchondral bone nerve tissue, increasing its susceptibility to make the knee induced pain, which means that catching a cold can be triggered by the occurrence of the knee of the original disease and aggravation of the condition. The earliest reaction to knee function being affected is discomfort such as unfavorable movement, soreness or pain.

With bad knees, orthopedic surgeons usually instruct their patients to keep their knees warm, not to overuse and strain them, and that knee exercises in daily life are necessary.

Welcome to follow the orthopedic surgeon, Lao Niu, to bring you a different kind of science knowledge!

Is there a connection between knee pain and cold?

Related.

In Chinese medicine, there is a famous saying: pain is not a problem, and communication is not a problem.

The human organism is always and constantly by the blood circulation to transport nutrients, transported away from the generation of products, only called metabolism!

The title asks if knee pain is related to cold? In clinical practice, the patient reflects the knee pain, as a clinically experienced medical workers first of all to ask is how a kind of pain? For example, bruises, to have dysfunction, there are localized bruises and bruises, moving is painful, not moving is not painful! If it is degenerative lesions, to have joint deformation bilateral joints are not equal, if there are joint ligaments, joint capsule, meniscus and other lacerations, there should be a fall or sprain injury, if the patient only reflects the pain of the kneecap, we must ask the symptoms of warmth is not better or pain, as long as the symptoms of this one was established, that the first diagnostic basis for the arthralgia should be caused by the cold, if you think of the problem is complicated, to the depths of the thought, that the If you think about the problem is complicated, think deeper, then the patient will be due to your doctor's lack of clinical experience and suffered too much unnecessary treatment and examination fees.

You can not underestimate the cold, all parents know how to keep warm for their children, this cold caused by systemic diseases not to enumerate, only this small knee cold let you suffer. When I was a child in a winter, due to less pants, the result of knee pain, swollen lymph nodes in the groin, and even more sciatic nerve inflammation, sitting on a stool feet can not move an inch, do not talk about moving an inch to the toilet, the result of the hot compresses cured, and did not spend a penny.

A few years ago, my left patella also due to cold pain, joint pain, sleep, legs nowhere to put, moving around difficult, two hands take turns to cover the patella, and ultimately covered a few days of hot water bags all healed.

This is caused by the cold all over the body joints, especially limbs, knees, the physiological characteristics of this blood supply is not good for the large joints, with the physical principle of thermal expansion and contraction of the interpretation of the physical principle of the Chinese medicine of the pain is not passable, due to the stagnation of local tissues metabolism is not good, it will cause pain symptoms, so the use of traditional Chinese medicine of the dialectical treatment of the therapy of the kind of dialing pots, moxibustion, massage, massage, and so on the ultimate therapeutic purpose is the thermal expansion effect, so that the tissue circulation metabolism The purpose of the treatment is to accelerate the circulation and metabolism of the tissues, transport away the creatine kinase in the tissues, and eliminate the symptoms!

People in their daily lives, it is inevitable that not cold, but with the symptoms of their own to be aware of the cause of the onset of the disease, for example, this small cold caused by patellofemoral pain, as long as a few times the hot compresses can be fully healed, do not more than a penny!

🚪 But if people get sick can not delay, if the opportunity to take the cold to hide the discovery of formal lesions and early treatment of the consequences of that would be big, but not afraid of a trick is to do a differential diagnosis of hot compresses, early cold-induced arthralgia, heat to get rid of the disease!

🚪Chinese medicine is profound, dialectical treatment, simple, convenient, thousands of years, the people benefit, it seems that everyone should know some common sense medicine!

I wrote it and lost it, and this is the second time I've rewritten it!

Thanks for reading 🙏!

I believe that many of the mom generation will have knee pain in the winter, so is there a relationship between knee pain and cold weather and cold? Today we will find out.

There are many kinds of causes for knee pain, such as trauma, obesity, strain, bone density, and so on. The most common causes of knee pain, however, are freezing and drastic changes in temperature. The classic example is that moving from a warm area to a colder area often results in knee pain in the winter, due to the change in living conditions. The knee is frozen for a long time, the alternation of cold and warm, and then cold will also appear pain, and cold weather, sitting or lying down, the activity is already less, coupled with the low temperature, it is easy to lead to the knees of the blood does not run well, exacerbating the pain of the knee. Therefore, see the weather is not right, must pay attention to keep warm, do not forget to wear fall pants, to wind not temperature, frozen knees is not a joke. And then every day to do some exercise, walk, squat, some gentle exercise on the knee is good. It should be noted that, if the knee pain, do not do strenuous exercise, such as running, was already in pain, and then give the knee high load, more unbearable.

If you have rheumatism yourself, then your knees will also be painful after getting cold. At this time it is best to find a professional practitioner to acupuncture, massage, massage, if you do not want to go to the hospital, at home to do hot compress is also possible. And hot compresses are very effective in relieving cold knee pain. Every day before going to bed, with a hot towel for more than fifteen minutes, if possible, you can add white wine, ginger water, more cold and damp, pain. If necessary, you can stick some creams to get rid of cold and dampness, which also has a relieving effect on knee pain.

The authoritative interpretation of Pharmaceutical Affairs, unauthorized reproduction, plagiarism will be punished.

The knee pain is related to the cold. My original knee pain, that winter I live on the sixth floor of my home, is the top floor, I remember every day to go home to go up the stairs is very difficult, sometimes touch the building railing slowly walk up, do not dare to lift heavy objects, when the cream pasted, ate Western medicine, acupuncture, indeed is to alleviate the pain, but did not completely cured, asked the doctor what was going on, most of the doctors said that it was caused by the cold, but also said that the knee has a synovitis.

The following summer I made my own lining and sheet with a worn-out cotton string cross-body undershirt, put cotton stalks into the lining and sheet, and made a long cotton pad, which I tied to my knees throughout the summer, and tried to carry it with me during the day and in the darkness of the day, especially when I slept, and must tie it to my knees, even when I slept at noon, and if I didn't go to strenuous exercise in the daytime, I also tied it to my knees, no matter how hot it was. If you don't go for strenuous exercise during the day, tie the cotton pads to your knees, no matter how hot it is. After such a summer, the knee slowly does not hurt, after nine years, the knee pain did not recur.

It's all about knee pain, but people get it for different reasons, and people have different constitutions, and there are all sorts of treatments for it, but many of them的The purpose of the treatment is to make the knees warm, so try what I said.

In our Chinese traditional cognition, [cold] is regarded as a kind of almost [unforgivable] existence. Colds, indigestion, and even irregular menstruation are all considered to be caused by cold. The older generation is not used to young people wearing shorts when it's cold, exposed ankles, repeatedly told them not to catch a cold joints fall into the root of the disease. Because they do really feel: the cold will trigger or aggravate their knee pain.

So, back to the question: is there a relationship between [knee pain] and [cold]?

Let's start with a direct answer:

If there is an inherent problem with the knee joint (such as osteoarthritis), then [being cold] can indeed trigger or exacerbate [knee pain]

If the knee joint itself is healthy and free of disease, then [getting cold] doesn't actually cause [knee pain].

1. When the knee joint itself has problems, [getting cold] can cause or aggravate [knee pain].

In unhealthy knee joints, the ligaments, synovium and cartilage of the joints are already suffering from chronic inflammation or even abnormal morphology, and the knee joints are in a more vulnerable state because of the decline of the self-regulation mechanism. In addition, the knee joint itself lacks hair and fat coverage, when the external environment suddenly changes, such as a sudden drop in temperature, the original abnormal joint fluid will become more viscous and not easy to flow, the original accumulation of a lot of inflammatory mediators because of poor blood circulation and accumulation of more, the ligament muscles that were already inflamed and abnormal to become more tense and spasmodic. ......

This is why the older generation is really and truly afraid of getting cold. Similarly, people who are young but have an inflammatory response to damage to their bones and joints due to traumatic fractures or other surgeries are very sensitive to changes in the external environment for the same reason.

2. When the knee joint itself is healthy and free of disease, [getting cold] does not cause [knee pain].

Our body has evolved over ten thousand years and is actually very [anti-fragile]. That is, the body itself has an extremely strong self-regulation mechanism that allows us to face sudden changes in the external environment with openness. That's why young people wear shorts when it's cold and show ankles will not have any discomfort, because their knee joints themselves are healthy, can self-regulate, the outside temperature of this small case of stimulation, simply do not put in the eye.

You may be wondering if that cold will make the otherwise healthy knee joints of young people unhealthy. Because the older generation always said don't look at you now is fine, the cold will fall into the root of the disease will have problems later? In fact, the truth is not so. The truth is: the cold does not make the healthy knee joints become unhealthy, really let the older generation of people originally healthy knees become unhealthy culprit is [age].

In summary, the seemingly simple question of whether [getting cold] will cause [knee pain] or not has actually been more seriously misunderstood. People who have problems with their knees themselves, getting cold will indeed cause and aggravate knee pain, but for young people with healthy knees, getting cold will not cause knee pain, nor will it make the knees more unhealthy.

Nowadays, knee pain is a very common phenomenon, mostly in middle-aged and elderly people, some young people can also see knee pain. It is called knee paralysis in Chinese medicine and knee arthropathy in western medicine.

According to Chinese medicine, knee pain is related to cold, but also related to deficiency of liver and kidney, usual strain, acute trauma and sprain. Cold is only the cause of knee pain, but the main cause of knee pain is the deficiency of positive qi, which is unable to resist external evils, resulting in the invasion of evil qi, which induces knee pain. Chinese medicine believes that the main mechanism of knee pain is qi stagnation and blood stasis, not through the pain, liver and kidney deficiency, loss of nourishment of the tendons and bones, not honoring the pain. Chinese medicine treatment is mainly acupuncture and massage treatment, gua sha treatment, cupping treatment, bloodletting therapy and so on.

Western doctors believe that knee pain has nothing to do with cold, they believe that knee pain is mainly an acute attack of chronic strain injury, mainly including fat pad strain, meniscus injury, cruciate ligament injury, osteoarthritis of the knee, synovitis of the knee and so on. Treatments include sodium vitrate injection, knee arthroscopy, knee replacement and so on.

Therefore, for the answer to the question, from Chinese medicine, knee pain and cold are related, but from Western medicine, there is no correlation between the two. What do you think?

From the point of view of Western medicine, there is not a dime's worth of relationship, but there are often a lot of patients who take Western medicine treatment, but for years and years to enjoy the torture of pain. Believe in traditional Chinese medicine, believe that knee pain (except those caused by trauma) and cold-related patients, through the Chinese medicine of warm tonic qi and blood, dredge the meridians and collaterals, wind and dampness theory of the use of drugs, warm compresses, massage, acupuncture and other treatments, but can restore health! I have used the combination of massage and moxa burns to deal with several patients, the effect is great.

Knee pain is related to cold. In the clinic, we often meet many women who love beauty in winter and cause knee pain, as well as the first batch of men who ride motorcycles do not have a few knees without pain. Some people have done research, the most difficult part of the human body to warm up in sports is the knee, that is to say, the knee is the most afraid of cold. Therefore, in order to walk normally, all men, women and children should take good care of their knees.
