What are the symptoms of cold and painful knees

Cold and painful knees are most likely caused by the invasion of cold and damp air. For example, common rheumatism often manifests as knee pain. As the disease progresses, it may accumulate to the heart, joints, and central nervous system, which is very harmful.

1. What causes cold and painful knees?

If your knees are cold and painful, you are most likely to have rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatism is a common autoimmune disease. Cold and humidity are the main inducing factors of the disease. It is closely related to seasonal changes and requires careful care.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease characterized by muscle and joint pain. As the disease progresses, it will also affect the heart, joints, central nervous system, skin and subcutaneous tissue. The main clinical manifestations are carditis and arthritis, which may be accompanied by fever, toxemia, rash, subcutaneous nodules, chorea, etc. Arthritis is usually more obvious during acute attacks, but rheumatic carditis can cause death in patients at this stage. Therefore, receiving treatment as early as possible is crucial.

2. What should patients with rheumatoid arthritis do if their knees are cold and painful?

What should patients with rheumatoid arthritis do when their knees become cold and painful? The most important thing is to treat the primary disease. Beijing Meirui Orthopedic Hospital has set up a segmented treatment plan and implemented differentiated treatment based on the patient's disease course and condition. In the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis, joint pain is the main symptom, which can be relieved through conservative measures such as acupuncture, massage, traditional Chinese medicine and physical therapy, while controlling the progression of the disease and protecting patients from the torment of the disease. When rheumatoid arthritis develops seriously, the joints become swollen and deformed. Simple conservative treatment cannot completely eliminate inflammatory substances, so experts recommend minimally invasive treatment, which is effective quickly and avoids the pain of surgery. The specific treatment plan will be determined after the patient goes to the hospital for examination.

3. What is the best way to treat rheumatoid arthritis?

For patients who only have joint pain in the early stage but have not yet developed joint deformities, our hospital's transcutaneous ion drug penetration technology can be used. An external electric field is used to produce a magnetic effect to break up and decompose the drug into ion form, which is then introduced into the tissue and blood circulation through the lesion site. It avoids the irritation to the gastrointestinal tract and blood vessels caused by oral and injectable drugs. It can effectively relieve joint pain symptoms caused by rheumatism, and most importantly, it is safe and has no toxic side effects.
