Knee joints are one of the most important bearings of the human body and are prone to bone arthritis. Knee arthritis is more common, especially among middle-aged older persons. When there was knee arthritis, many people thought it would be good to put on a plaster and rub it in, ignoring the importance of access. When the pain in the knee joint is unbearable, deformation occurs, and it is not even possible to walk properly, the choice is to replace the knee joint. If the state of health is inadequate and cannot withstand the operation, the quality of daily life will decline significantly. It is therefore important to understand the causes of and treatment for knee arthritis and to choose the appropriate timing and treatment for it in order to improve the quality of daily life.
I. Why is the knee joint prone to arthritis?
The knee joints consist of complex joints, consisting mainly of bones (guly bones, gillbones and gill bones), cartilages (column cartilages and half a moonboard), ligatures (ex-crossing ligaments, back-crossings, internal and external dysenterys), muscles and shrubs, and a combination of weight and flexibility. During standing and walking, the knee joint bears one or two times the weight of the human body, increasing three or four times the weight of the stairs, running and moving, and up to eight times the weight of the body. As a result, the knee joints are more likely to receive damage in cases of intense movement, fall or undue load. In addition, as age rises, decomposition of the bone joint can also lead to osteoporosis. As a result, there is a high incidence of knee arthritis.
What are the main symptoms of knee arthritis?
The symptoms of the knee joint are diverse and include, inter alia:
Pain: Pain in the knee joint at the moment of activity or for a long period of time, which may be light.
2. Osmosis: Artificial swelling may occur within the knee joint, bone joint growth and soft tissue oedema, resulting in joint swelling.
Limited activity: The mobility of knee joints is limited by pain, swelling and bone growth.
4. Morning rigidity: After morning rises or long periods of static, the knee joints may become rigid and may require some time of activity to ease.
Bone rubbing: Sometimes the knee joints sound “things”, often accompanied by physical pain.
Any of these symptoms continue unabated, and that’s the signal we need to see.
III. How to mitigate knee arthritis? 1. Rest and avoidance of excess activity. For knee joint pain, the first thing to do is rest, avoiding overuse or intense exercise. In the case of knee joint pain caused by motor damage, a temporary reduction in motor strength may be considered to avoid overloading. Physiotherapy not only restores the mobility of the knee but is also very effective in mitigating the pain of the knee. Common treatment methods include: motor therapy, muscle enhancement training and increased joint activity; ultrasound therapy, which promotes blood circulation, reduces inflammation and pain; low-energy laser therapy, inhibition of inflammation and reduction of osteoporosis; neurological stimulation (TENS) through skin, pain relief; wax therapy and tuning, reduction of inflammation and swelling, relaxation of muscles around the knee. 3. Work therapy reduces the overstretched and heavyness of the knee joints through smooth walking training under the protection of the knee joint, up and down the stairs, such as training in latrines and domestic labour. Care should be taken in daily life and in the course of training to avoid long periods of burdening in the same position, to maintain the right position, to refrain from activities that increase or cause pain, to change work procedures and to mitigate joint stress. 4. Medical treatment The pain in the knee joint can be met with local external pain relief, consisting mainly of anointing, adhesives and gel formulations. Oral drugs are mainly anaesthesia anti-inflammation drugs (NSAIDs) and include opioid analgesics, anti-anxiety drugs and Chinese medicine, the choice of which should follow medical instructions and avoid the long-term application of large quantities of painkillers. In addition, inflammation can be mitigated, rehabilitation promoted, and inter-coalt lubrication facilitated by the injection of related drugs in the joint. Common joint injections include sugar cortex hormones, sodium glaucoma, a few butane sugars, high sugar solution and blood-rich plasma (PRP). 5. Surgery treatment Surgical treatments, including corrosive cleaning, high osteoporosis, joint integration and artificial joint replacement, apply to persons over 60 years of age. Rehabilitation training after surgical treatment is still required to promote muscle recovery and improve joint activity. 6. Other treatments for knee arthritis include medium- and medium-sized medical practices such as pick-ups, acupuncture, needle knives and Chinese fumigation. Treatment such as the application of assistive devices to reduce the weight of the joints and thus to reduce their pain.
Overall, there is a high incidence of knee arthritis, with early detection of improved symptoms through a combination of standardized treatments to delay surgery. However, at present, both medical and surgical, drugs, rehabilitation or surgery are treated for the disease. In the absence of treatment for the causes of the disease, there is a consensus at the national and international levels on the importance of prevention. Care should be taken in daily life to ensure rest, avoid bad positions, reduce irrational movements, gradually increase aerobics and joints training, prevent fall and sprains, ensure knee joints and reduce the incidence of knee arthritis.
