Knee pain when squatting?

The knee joint is a relatively important organ of the human body. If the knee joint is injured, it will generally affect people's daily life and work. The main causes of knee pain are knee arthritis or knee osteoarthritis. In this case, in addition to active treatment, you also need to pay more attention to rest, strengthen exercise appropriately, enhance your physical fitness, and maintain a normal mentality.

What are the specific symptoms of knee arthritis?

1. Joint pain

When people's joints are affected by disease, the first symptom to appear is pain. Generally speaking, patients with knee arthritis will have symptoms of knee pain, which is also the main symptom and the main cause of functional impairment in patients. The characteristics of pain in patients with knee arthritis are mainly latent onset and continuous dull pain.

2. Joint deformation and swelling

If people suffer from this disease and do not properly protect their joints, it is very easy for the disease to recur. There are acute attacks every 1-2 years. During an attack, the joints are slightly swollen or there is a small amount of fluid accumulation. Sometimes there is a feeling of friction when moving the knee joint, and the function is affected to a certain extent. In the later stage, the symptoms of arthritis are pain that wakes you up during rest at night. The pain is continuous until the joints become deformed and swollen, and functional activities are hindered and you cannot take care of yourself.

3. Morning stiffness of joints

Affected by the disease, patients will experience morning stiffness and a feeling of stickiness after getting up early. Morning stiffness is caused by the presence of synovitis in patients. However, the morning stiffness of arthritis is different from that of rheumatoid arthritis. It is shorter in duration, generally not exceeding 30 minutes. The sticking feeling refers to the stiffness when the joint moves after being still for a period of time, as if it is stuck, which can be relieved by a slight movement.

4. Joint stiffness and chills

When suffering from this disease, patients should not overwork in daily life, otherwise they will experience joint stiffness, which will be aggravated by joint fatigue, cold or minor trauma. It will be difficult to move the limbs from one part to another, but the pain and stiffness will be quickly relieved with a little movement. For example, when you get up in the morning or stand up after sitting for a long time, you experience stiffness and pain. The symptoms are obvious. After activities, the joint symptoms are alleviated or disappear. These symptoms are not taken seriously in the early stages. If you do not seek medical attention early, the symptoms will easily worsen.

The symptoms of knee arthritis in the early stage are not obvious, so many people ignore it. As time goes by, the symptoms of knee arthritis become more and more serious, which is when patients pay attention to it. Therefore, early detection and treatment of knee arthritis is very critical.
