Migratory pain in the joints of the limbs?

If there is systemic migratory pain, especially in the limbs, this situation is likely to be a symptom caused by neurological malnutrition. It is usually caused by staying up late, lack of sleep or irregular diet. Some people, for the sake of beauty, often wear less in winter and suffer from cold. It is best to go to the hospital for examination and treatment. You must pay more attention to rest and try to have a nutritious diet.

The main causes of migratory pain in the elderly

①Degenerative changes of joints

② Chronic strain of joints

③Osteoarthritis caused by rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.

④The decline of ovarian function and the decrease of estrogen secretion lead to a large loss of calcium, causing osteoporosis.

Generally speaking, after women are over 40 years old, as the secretion of estrogen decreases, the intestinal absorption of calcium will be inhibited and the activity of osteoblasts will also weaken. At this time, a large amount of bone mass will be lost, and most people will experience varying degrees of muscle aches throughout the body, especially low back muscle pain, intercostal pain, hip joint pain, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an X-ray as soon as possible.

For pain caused by osteoporosis, it is best to do bone density testing and measurement of related metabolic indicators to determine the degree of bone reduction and then provide symptomatic treatment. If the pain is caused by hyperplastic bone and joint hyperplasia, a combination of Chinese and Western medicines with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, muscle-relaxing and blood-activating properties can be used for comprehensive treatment, such as physical therapy, to reduce the swelling and spasm caused by the hyperplasia in the local joints and relieve the pain. If osteoarthritis is caused by rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, etc., the pain is usually accompanied by redness and swelling of the joints. At this time, you may wish to go to the rheumatology and immunology department of the hospital for anti-O, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and rheumatoid factor testing.

Causes of joint pain:

1. Injury of the ligaments around the joint: The stability of the knee ligaments is relatively poor when the knee joint is slightly flexed. If it is suddenly subjected to external force and causes eversion or inversion at this time, it may cause injury to the medial or lateral collateral ligament. The patient will have a clear history of trauma, knee pain, swelling, bruising, and limited motion.

2. Cartilage damage is mainly meniscus damage of the knee joint. When the knee joint is slightly bent, if the knee is suddenly excessively internally rotated or externally extended (for example, when playing football, bending the calf, turning around and kicking the ball), it may cause a meniscus tear. Meniscus injury will cause an obvious tearing feeling in the knee, followed by joint pain, limited movement, limping when walking, and popping when the joint moves.

3. Synovitis: When the synovium of the joint is damaged due to trauma or excessive strain, a large amount of fluid will accumulate, which will increase the pressure inside the joint, leading to joint pain, swelling, tenderness, and friction and astringent sounds. For example, when the knee joint is actively and extremely extended, especially when the knee extension exercise is performed with a certain resistance, the pain below the patella will be aggravated. The pain is also significantly aggravated during extreme passive flexion.

4. Autoimmune system diseases Immune system diseases such as lupus erythematosus and psoriasis can also invade the joints and cause swelling and pain, which requires blood tests to assist in diagnosis.

5. Children's growing pains. This type of patients are mainly children in the growth period, and boys are more common. The pain is commonly found in the knee joint, hip joint, etc. This situation is a normal physiological phenomenon that occurs during children's growth and development. Because the bones of children in the growth stage grow relatively quickly, the growth and development of the periosteum and local muscles are not coordinated, which causes discomfort and joint pain. It is also believed that the pain is caused by a low-grade infection.

6. Traumatic joint pain is caused by some accident or incident that causes trauma (such as soft tissue injury, fracture and dislocation, etc.) to the joints of the shoulder, wrist, knee, ankle, etc. without any serious fractures, resulting in joint pain.
