The rheumatism moon said, “How do you respond to the rheumatism season?” Three joints to help you relax.
The establishment of winter marks the official beginning of winter as one of the twenty-four festivities. Stand, start, winter, end, collection. It represents the beginning of an atmosphere of seclusion and the entry of everything into rest and recuperation and collection.
After winter, the climate gradually changed from rain in the autumn to cold in the winter, and we also ushered in a high fever of rheumatism. Many patients experience increased joint pain and swelling.
So, why is the rheumatism cortex in winter? And how do you judge whether your condition is rheumatism?
Why is rheumatism prone to recurrence in winter?
Rheumatism is a chronic, systemic and self-immunological disease, mainly manifested in erosive arthritis, which mainly infringes on the joints, causing pain, swelling and functional impairment of the joints.
“Man is in the heavens and the earth, and the sun and the moon.” ..when it is, it’s shallow, though it’s a thief. When it is, it goes deep in the face of a thief’s wind, and his patient is beaten.”
It means that human beings are closely connected to the heavens, the sun, the moon and the clock, that climate change is closely related to human health, and that rheumatism is no exception. In winter, patients tend to notice a “heaviness” of the condition. The main reasons for this are the following three factors:
Cold and wet.
Cold and damp are the two most common triggers of rheumatism. Long-term cold irritation not only causes vascular contraction around the joints, which affects blood circulation, but also makes the slides within the joints sticky, increasing the resistance to joint movements and thus the wear and pain of the joints. In addition, the wet environment increases the internal humidity of the joint and makes it more vulnerable to damage.
It’s an infection.
Although infection is not a direct cause of rheumatism, some studies suggest that streptococcal infections, for example, may be associated with rheumatism. In the autumn and winter, low temperatures and reduced human immunity can increase the risk of rheumatism by increasing vulnerability to viruses and bacteria.
Reduced movement of tungsten
As the temperature drops, the time spent on outdoor activities decreases, and so does the amount of exercise. This not only leads to the rigidity of the joints and a decrease in muscle power, but also affects metabolism within the joints, making them more vulnerable to damage.
How do you judge whether it is rheumatism?
According to the classification criteria presented jointly by ACR and the European Union for Combating Rheumatism in 2010, the diagnosis of rheumatism is required to:
One joint is tired.
Large and medium joints: 1 0, 2-10 1
Small joints: 1-3 2 and 4-10 3
At least one is a little joint.
2 serometry indicators
The rheumatism factor and the antiaccumulator antibodies are equal to 0 points, the rheumatism factor or anticorrigated anticorrigated antibodies are 2 points, and the rheumatist factor or anticorrigated amino acid antibodies are 3 points.
Duration of the 3-film epidemic
< 6 weeks 0 minutes
One in six weeks.
In case of acute reverses
C-reacting proteins and blood sank in zero.
C-reaction protein or blood sunk abnormalities, 1 point.
Note: The cumulative score of 6 cents above can be diagnosed as rheumatism.
Protect the joints of the fingers.
In the cold autumn and winter holidays, rheumatist patients in particular need to pay attention to the protection and exercise of their fingers. According to data, over 90 per cent of the rheumatist patients are first exposed to hand joints, especially near-end joints.
Through appropriate joints, joint pain, swelling and morning stagnosis can be effectively mitigated and the progress of joint malformations delayed. The following are three simple finger joints, especially for rheumatists.
The hawk claws.
Spread out five fingers as hard as you can.
Keep the most inner joint of the finger, i.e. the flatness of the joint with the palm of the hand, and hold the four fingers, other than the thumb, in the shape of eagle claws.
In a position where the eagle’s claw position is maintained, the pressure is moderate and maintained for five minutes.
You can repeat the above three-step action 20 times. This joint may help the patient to increase the strength and flexibility of his/her finger joints and to alleviate their rigidity and pain.
Squeeze your fingers.
Touch the thumb with an index finger, and the other four fingers rotate around the same motion and touch with the thumb, and the strength is determined by the degree of adsorption, at 3-5 seconds at a time.
Six times, relax.
One at a time. This joint can facilitate the circulation of the finger joints and reduce their swelling and pain.
I’m gonna kick your ass.
Spread out five fingers as hard as you can, and keep your hands and fingers spread for 3-5 seconds.
Hold it hard, hold it for 3-5 seconds.
Can do it again and again 20 times. This exercise enhances the grip and flexibility of the fingers and improves the function of the joint.
