Knee nerve pain

There are actually very important nerves distributed around the knees, and if there is a problem with these nerves, it will directly affect the normal function of a person's knees. And when you walk in daily life, you should pay attention to your walking posture, so that you can provide good protection for your knees. However, a small number of people find that they have some pain in the nerves around their knees. Could this problem be related to knee problems?

4 major causes of knee pain

Reason 1: Improper exercise

If you don't do enough warm-up exercises or exercise too much, it can also cause joint pain. Patients with synovitis or osteoarthritis are particularly susceptible to the onset or aggravation of joint diseases. Especially when going up and down stairs or down a mountain, the weight of the whole body is completely placed on one knee joint, and the pressure on the knee joint is several times that when standing normally.

Reason 2: Bad walking habits

For example, frequently wearing ill-fitting shoes or walking long distances in slippers or high heels will cause the knee joint to be in an abnormal stress state for a long time, causing chronic damage to the knee joint and causing knee pain.

Reason 3: Knee ligament injury

The stability of the knee joint is relatively poor when it is slightly flexed. If it is suddenly subjected to external force causing eversion or inversion at this time, it may cause injury to the medial or lateral collateral ligament. Medial collateral ligament injuries account for the vast majority of clinical cases. Patients will experience pain and tenderness on the medial side of the knee. The pain will worsen when the calf is passively abducted. There will be swelling on the medial side of the knee, and knee joint movement will be restricted.

Reason 4: Meniscus injury

Meniscus injury is a common injury among athletes. Meniscus injury will cause an obvious tearing sensation in the knee, followed by joint pain, limited movement, and limping when walking. The joints show swelling and a feeling of slipping, and there is a popping sound when the joints move.

Press these three points to relieve pain

There are three acupoints around the knee - Heding point, inner knee point and outer knee point - which are special acupoints for treating knee joint pain.

The Heding point is located on the upper part of the knee. When the knee is bent, the point is the depression at the midpoint of the upper edge of the patella. The medial and lateral knee sockets are located below the patella, in the depressions on the inside and outside of the patellar ligament, respectively.

Patients with knee pain can press the three acupoints at the same time. Sit on a chair, let your legs hang down and bend your knees naturally. Use the index finger of one hand to press the Heding point, and the thumb and index finger of the other hand to press the inner and outer knee points respectively. Use three fingers together to press these three acupoints for 3 to 5 minutes; then change to kneading, gently knead your knees with the palms of your hands for 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat the operation 5 to 8 times to relax muscles and tendons, relieve spasms and relieve pain. If you persist in doing this every day, you will definitely be able to relieve your knee pain.
