In winter, the pain of the rheumatist arthritis has increased.

When winter’s cold winds whizz, for people with rheumatism arthritis, it means the beginning of a difficult time. They often experience a marked increase in pain every winter, with multiple causes behind it.Rheumatism is an autoimmune disease, with patients suffering from chronic inflammation in the long term. The first effect of cold weather is the contraction of the arteries around the joint. As the flow of rivers slows down at low temperatures, the blood circulation at the human joints is also shrunk by vascular contraction. Those inflammatory media such as ammonium, prostate, etc., as well as agonizing substances such as acne, which should have been metabolized in time with the blood cycle, now accumulate in local parts of the joints because of slow blood flow. They keep stimulating the nerve endings, as if a group of “little demons” were messing around the joints, making the pain feel stronger.Moreover, the metabolic rate of the joints and the surrounding tissues has significantly slowed down in low-temperature environments. Under normal conditions, membrane cells have their own metabolic regulation mechanisms, which, in a state of disease, are already in an abnormally active state, such as excessive growth. The cold attacks disrupted its already fragile metabolic balance, further exacerbating the rampitis. The increase in seepage in the joint cavity undoubtedly increases the pressure within the joint, creates greater pressure on the surrounding neurological, vascular and other structures, and increases the pain, as does the heavy burden of disease on the patient, which has been added to the body by a few stones.In winter, humans instinctively shrink muscles to produce more heat in order to resist cold. However, this has been exacerbated for people with rheumatism. The increase in muscle stress around the joints, on the one hand, limits the normal activity of the joints, which changes the friction, stress, further damage to the joints and increases the pain; on the other hand, long periods of muscle stress can lead to muscle fatigue, convulsions, etc., and the abnormality of these muscles can bind the tissue around the joints, as if the invisible hand is pulling the nerve of pain, which increases the pain.In addition, the cold increases the excitement of neurofibre, and the sensory nerves around the joints become more sensitive. The joints of people with rheumatism are in a state of neuroclimate and stimuli due to inflammation, at a time when the perception of pain has reached a new height under cold “catalytic”. Even a slight discomfort of the joints in the middle of the day can be magnified in the cold of winter into unbearable pain.The cold winter is a difficult challenge for people with rheumatism arthritis to fight with increased pain. Understanding the causes of increased pain also allows us to pay more attention to this group and to send more warmth and care to them during the winter.
