What to do if your knees are cold and painful, how to improve it

Many people feel pain when their knees are exposed to cold. This may be caused by knee strain, but they don’t know what to do when their knees are exposed to cold and pain. In this case, you must pay attention to strengthening your physical fitness, so that your ability to resist cold will be improved.

1. Strengthen exercise and improve physical fitness

Regular physical exercise, such as health gymnastics, qigong, tai chi, radio gymnastics, walking, etc., is very beneficial. People who insist on physical exercise will have a strong body, strong disease resistance, and rarely get sick. Their ability to resist the invasion of wind, cold and dampness is much stronger than that of those who do not exercise.

2. Avoid wind, cold and dampness

Spring is the time when all things sprout, and it is also the high-risk season for rheumatoid arthritis. Therefore, we must prevent cold, rain and moisture, pay attention to keeping the joints warm, and do not wear wet clothes, wet shoes, wet socks, etc. In the hot summer, don't seek coolness or drink too much cold drinks. The climate in autumn is dry, but the wind is refreshing and the weather is getting cooler, so we should prevent ourselves from getting cold. The winter wind is biting cold, so keeping warm is the most important thing.

3. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest

Eating in moderation, having regular daily routine, and combining work and rest are the main measures to strengthen your body and maintain your health. Clinically, although the condition of some rheumatoid arthritis patients is basically under control and they are in the recovery period, their condition often worsens or relapses due to fatigue. Therefore, they need to combine work and rest, and maintain moderate activity and rest.

4. Maintain a normal mental state

Some patients develop this disease due to mental stimulation, excessive sadness, depression, etc.; and after suffering from this disease, emotional fluctuations often make the condition worse. These all suggest that mental (or psychological) factors have a certain impact on this disease. Therefore, maintaining a normal mental state is important for maintaining the body's normal immune function.

5. Infection Prevention and Control

Some cases of rheumatoid arthritis develop after suffering from infectious diseases such as pharyngitis, sinusitis, chronic cholecystitis, and dental caries. It is believed that this disease is caused by the body's immune response to the pathogens of these infections. Therefore, it is also important to prevent infection and control infectious lesions in the body.
