* At night or in the middle of the night, as long as you bend down and stretch your knees, you can hear the abnormal sound of "click click" from your knees.

* When going up and down stairs or squatting down to stand up, there will be obvious pain in front of the knee joint. When doing squats, it is obviously not as smooth as before; But walking on a flat road seems to have no problem at all. ...

What the hell is going on here? Is it some kind of arthropathy? If you have similar symptoms mentioned above, please remember to read this article carefully. Jin Yisheng's suggestion may help you deal with related problems correctly.

First of all, Jin Yisheng can clearly tell everyone that although everyone seems to have no symptoms when walking on a flat road, it does not mean that the knee joint is "healthy". If you have similar symptoms mentioned above, you must be alert to the "knee joint" being sick!

In medicine, the knee joint is mainly composed of three small joints-patellofemoral joint and both sides of femur and tibia.

Generally speaking, going up and down stairs, squatting up and hurting your knees, and walking on a flat road are all right, mainly because these small joints have problems. When the patellofemoral joint has problems (such as patellofemoral osteoarthritis), with the wear of cartilage, osteophyte (commonly known as "bone spur") will appear in the patellofemoral joint, and the joint space will be narrowed.

Based on the above factors, early patients will feel pain and discomfort in their knees. With the aggravation of symptoms, patients will have knee pain when going up and down stairs, and the knee joint will bend and stretch, and even it is difficult to bend and straighten.

Then, who is easy to "recruit" osteoarthritis in front of the knee joint? According to the survey data, the following groups are all high-risk groups:

Before, when Jin Yisheng visited a group of mountaineers and fitness coaches, he found that nine out of ten people were injured by their knees more or less because of the long-term high-intensity "oppression" of their knees.

First of all, patients and friends should never hold the idea of "just bear with it", let alone be confused by the performance of "it's okay to take a flat road". Jin Yisheng has seen too many patients with osteophyte caused by prolonged delay, and the joint problem is already very serious. Ordinary methods can't be cured at all, and surgery is the only choice to solve the problem.

Therefore, as long as you have similar manifestations mentioned in the article, you should go to the hospital for X-ray or magnetic resonance examination in time, make clear the cause, and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment-the sooner you find and treat the "problem" of patellofemoral joint, the more obvious the effect will be, and the problem of knee joint pain will be greatly alleviated. However, as long as you are lucky enough to "delay the cure", the more serious the symptoms, the more difficult it is.

On the premise of doing a good physical examination, we can combine Jin Yisheng's suggestion on the treatment of patellofemoral arthritis in China in 2020:

1) Early patients, usually at this time, patients only have symptoms of knee pain when going up and down stairs. The pain is not obvious, and it is no problem to walk on a flat road. At this time, patients should take ammonia sugar reasonably, do some rehabilitation exercises, and reduce squatting and cross-legged, which is of great benefit to control the disease.

In addition, it is also important to minimize the exercise that bears the weight on the joints, such as climbing fewer mountains, walking violently, climbing stairs repeatedly, crossing your legs, walking with excessive intensity and so on. Generally speaking, for patients with knee joint injury, walking 10000 to 20000 steps or even 30000 to 40000 steps every day is inappropriate exercise.

2) In patients in the middle stage, due to the aggravation of cartilage wear, the pain symptoms of patients in this stage are already obvious, and there will be pain in front of the knee joint if there is more activity. Some patients will also be accompanied by synovitis symptoms such as joint effusion.

Such patients must seek formal medical treatment, such as oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and injection of sodium hyaluronate, which can help you effectively diminish inflammation and relieve pain. (Please follow the doctor's advice)

3) In advanced patients, knee joint pain is already very serious, and the whole knee joint will have obvious pain, and the knee joint movement is limited, even walking will hurt. The most ideal way for this kind of patients may be knee replacement surgery.

In principle, Jin Yisheng still hopes that all patients can avoid surgery-the patient who needs surgery first shows that he has been ill for a long time, and secondly, for some patients, surgery will still cause a certain economic burden.

Therefore, Jin Yisheng suggested that patients and friends should strive for early detection and early treatment, actively cooperate with doctors' suggestions for rehabilitation exercises, and firmly control joint problems.
