Do you know how to protect the joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis?
1. Prevent the knuckles from bearing pressure: Even when doing trivial things, try to reduce the pressure on the knuckles, such as lifting the cup with the palms of both hands without holding the cup handle; No need to write calligraphy, no need to type on the computer for a long time; When screwing the bottle cap, hold the bottle stopper with soft wet paper, then hold the bottle stopper with the palm of your hand to pressurize it, and use the energy of your arm to push your wrist to screw it.

2. Take a hot bath frequently: Taking a hot bath can achieve the same practical effect as hot compress on the upper and lower joints of the whole body, which can effectively relieve the symptoms of joint pain of patients. RA patients who often feel stiff joint muscles in the morning can take a hot bath or a hot sand bath, or apply a cold and wet pad 10- 15min on the affected joint, which can also achieve the actual effect of relieving joint pain.

3. Regular exercise to pull the joints: I found that doing some exercises to pull the joints every day can significantly reduce the frequency of joint pain. When stretching, it is necessary to gradually stretch all joints of the whole body from top to bottom, and the compression strength is subject to no pain.

4. Use crutches when necessary: Clinical medicine has proved that when walking with crutches, RA patients can reduce the working pressure of feet, hip joints and ankle joints by more than 20%, and can maintain leg joints faster.

Warm reminder: after knowing how to prevent rheumatoid arthritis, everyone should be vigilant at any time and place and take preventive measures to prevent themselves and their loved ones from getting the disease. The early symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis are not obvious, and patients usually choose incorrect treatment. However, in the middle and late stage of the disease, patients will give up treatment because they can't be cured or can't persist, which will affect their daily life. Treating rheumatoid arthritis is no longer difficult. After the occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis, we must attach great importance to it, go to a regular hospital, closely cooperate with the treatment, promote the remission of the disease as soon as possible, leave no complications and sequelae as much as possible, and reduce the impact of the disease to a lower level.
