Rheumatic joint pain

I believe that many elderly friends are afraid of thunder, rain and sudden changes in weather, because these factors may cause pain in their hand or foot joints, which is sometimes quite serious. In fact, in the above situation, most of these elderly friends suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, which leads to rheumatic joint pain. Sometimes when the pain comes, drug treatment has no obvious effect and can only be controlled by taking painkillers.

Speaking of rheumatic joint pain, it is a headache for many elderly friends and has troubled them for a long time. In fact, there are many factors that cause rheumatic joint pain, and aging and changes in physical condition are the main reasons. So, let’s take a detailed look at rheumatic joint pain and its treatment.

Rheumatic cold joint pain (abbreviated as wind joint pain) refers to a disease with muscle and joint pain as the main manifestation caused by the human body being affected by wind, cold and dampness. Its clinical characteristic is that the condition worsens when encountering cold or weather changes. The main clinical manifestation is pain. There is no local inflammation such as redness, swelling and heat in the affected joints. Laboratory tests show that the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is mostly normal, and anti-chain "O" and rheumatoid factor are negative. Therefore, this disease is different from rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. According to the pathogenesis and clinical characteristics of this disease, it is believed that wind, cold and dampness are the causes of wind-related pain, and it should be an independent disease. Therefore, in 1974, Researcher Wang Zhaoming, director of the Rheumatic Diseases Professional Committee of the Chinese Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine and a famous rheumatologist, named this disease rheumatic cold joint pain. Through twenty years of clinical observation, most scholars believe that this name is more accurate, easier to distinguish from rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and other diseases in clinical practice, has practical value, is increasingly being adopted by clinical physicians, and is quite instructive for clinical practice. This disease belongs to the category of Bi syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine.

According to the causes of rheumatic cold joint pain, it is mostly due to careless living habits, which leads to the aggravation of symptoms or recurrence of the disease due to external evil wind and cold. Therefore, patients should try to avoid being attacked by rheumatism and cold evil at work and in life. In particular, you should avoid catching cold after sweating. Because sweating opens the pores. Susceptible to rheumatism and cold evil invasion. Be careful not to sit in a convection vent to cool off, sleep under a tree, or with the window open indoors. Don't use an electric fan to blow away sweat just for the sake of temporary relief. After giving birth, women have insufficient qi, blood, body fluids and weak constitution, so they need to pay more attention to protection and conditioning.

After this introduction, I believe that many people, including elderly friends who are sick, have a comprehensive understanding of rheumatic joint pain. If you want to cure rheumatic joint pain, taking medicine alone is not enough, and the medicine can only have a temporary effect. In addition to taking medicine, patients should also pay attention to exercising more, because most diseases are caused by poor body resistance, so strengthening physical fitness is the key.
