01 Knee osteoarthritis judgment

Joint pain is the earliest typical feature of knee osteoarthritis, and more than half of the patients have joint pain as the first symptom. It starts as a mild to moderate, intermittent, localized dull pain that occurs during activity or after exertion. You may feel tightness, heaviness or soreness in the joints, and the joints may not move well, which can be relieved after resting. The most common areas are the inner and anterior sides of the knee joints.

Knee joints are afraid of cold and wind. Many people’s knee joints will be stiff, painful and uncomfortable once they are exposed to wind and cold, which is because the cold induces or aggravates synovitis of the knee joint. Rainy days, windy days, the weather temperature becomes low, the body’s blood flow rate becomes slow, not conducive to the body’s blood circulation leads to metabolic slowdown, resulting in knee pain.
