Is synovitis afraid of cold?

Many people believe that if a person suffers from a joint disease, most of the time it is caused by cold wind, so patients with joint diseases should not be exposed to cold wind. Synovitis is a common joint disease because synovium is a substance that only exists around human joints. Many people have found that they cannot get cool breezes on the site of synovitis after they have it. So is it true that people with synovitis cannot get cool breezes?

Synovitis can affect the patient's ability to move. At the same time, this disease is also relatively common in daily life. Many patients find that they are afraid of cold after they are sick. If they get cold, synovitis will easily occur. The symptoms will worsen and affect their walking in serious cases. For this reason, let's learn about some of the reasons why synovitis is afraid of cold?

Synovitis is a type of arthralgia in traditional Chinese medicine, which falls under the category of gout, and includes joint pain, stiffness of the knees, severe joint pain, and tendon and bone arthralgia. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is mainly caused by trauma or strain. "Xizhuo of the Origin and Development of Miscellaneous Diseases" says: "A sudden stifle must be a shock of qi. Shock leads to excitement, excitement leads to stagnation, and stagnation means that qi that circulates throughout the body will suddenly gather in one place due to the stagnation... Wherever qi is stagnant, blood will also coagulate." There is also a saying that "the knee is the home of tendons". In addition, "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" points out: "The spleen governs muscles and limbs, and is responsible for transportation and transformation; the liver governs tendons and stores blood; the kidneys govern bones and marrow." Most of them are caused by wind, cold, dampness, damp-heat evil qi, chronic strain, falls and sprains, which lead to blockage of qi and blood in the joints, poor distribution of body fluids, accumulation of phlegm and dampness, and "swelling due to dampness prevailing". So people will be afraid of cold.
