There are sharp pains in my knee

The knee is a very important joint in our body. We should pay more attention to the protection of the knee joint in daily life. Many people will find that they will experience knee joint pain in cloudy and rainy weather, and it is a tingling sensation. When the pain is severe, it will have a serious impact on the patient's life and work. This situation is a symptom of knee arthritis and should be treated in time.

What is the reason for the sharp pain in the knee?

It may be a symptom of knee joint inflammation or bone hyperplasia of the knee. First, you need to do an X-ray or CT scan of the knee joint. You should be careful not to do strenuous exercise. You can use a hot towel for local hot compress, and take oral blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs, as well as anti-inflammatory, analgesic and nerve drugs for treatment.

Knee joint inflammation treatment

Keep wearing knee pads.

It is best to use a knee pad that can heat up by itself and can adjust the tightness. Otherwise, it will gradually slide down during exercise and easily draw wind into the knee. According to my experience, if you go out, it is best to wear it over long cotton socks, otherwise the intensity of the gradual heat will be unbearable.

Do not stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time.

People with knee arthritis must learn to adapt to warm environments. Air conditioning is absolutely taboo for arthritis. If you have to stay in an air-conditioned room at work, you should insist on wearing long pants (with knee pads) and do not wear sandals barefoot, as the cold enters through the feet.

Avoid movements that could injure your knees.

Some movements, such as squatting, squatting for a long time, climbing stairs repeatedly, and carrying heavy objects for long distances, will put too much strain on the knees and make already fragile knee problems worse.

The daily diet mainly consists of warm and nourishing foods.

Most cases of knee arthritis are caused by cold joints. Strengthening the body's yang energy and activating the body's instinct to drive away the cold is a long-term strategy. Guangying thinks that ginger is a very good food. Drink a cup of ginger black tea in the morning, add ginger to the dishes cooked at noon, and don’t eat it at night. You can also soak black beans in vinegar and eat them for a long time. They are both good companions with gentle and long-lasting effects.

Regularly apply moxibustion and cupping to the knees.

Especially after being caught in the wind, you must do moxibustion for ten minutes. Before going to bed at night, use a vacuum cup to cup both sides of the knees. You will often see the cupping area turn purple and black, which is a sign that the cold has been pulled out. According to my experience, after this operation, the knee pain completely disappeared the next day. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that moxa sticks and vacuum cups are essential tools for our knee arthritis.
