Joints are a key part of our physical activities. What should I do if my joint hurts? Do you know what joint pain is and how to treat it? Let's have a look.

In our daily life, many people are troubled by joint pain, which can be caused by many reasons, so the treatment of joint pain should be symptomatic.

The etiology of joint pain is generally related to the following situations.

1. Injury of ligaments around joints When the knee is slightly flexed, the stability of the knee ligament is relatively poor. If the external force suddenly causes eversion or eversion at this time, it may cause damage to the medial or lateral collateral ligament. The patient will have a clear history of trauma, knee pain, swelling, ecchymosis and limited mobility.

2. Cartilage injury is mainly meniscus injury of knee joint. When the knee joint is slightly flexed, if the knee joint is suddenly overstretched by internal rotation or external rotation, for example, when playing football, the action of kicking the ball with leg flexion may cause meniscus tear. Meniscus injury will have obvious tearing sensation of knee joint, followed by joint pain, limited activity, limping and clicking when joint moves.

3. Joint synovitis is mainly caused by trauma and excessive fatigue, which will cause a lot of effusion in the joint, which will lead to joint pain.

For example, when the knee joint is active and extremely straight, especially when there is some resistance to stretching the knee, it will aggravate the pain in the lower part of the patella. In passive extreme flexion, the pain will also be significantly aggravated.
