When climbing or descending stairs, knee pain or discomfort,
Have you ever experienced a sharp pain in your knees when sitting down or standing up?
Lately, I feel like my knees aren't as good as they used to be.
Especially, when I sit down and stand up, I don't feel pain, but I get an unpleasant feeling.
There's an old saying that goes, "Is it going to rain? There's no part of my limbs or knees that doesn't hurt..."
They say that inflammation worsens in humid weather.
So, these days, we should be more careful with our joints.
What disease comes to mind when you think of joints and inflammation?
I think of the word degenerative arthritis.
I am not yet at an age to experience degenerative arthritis, but,
As I get older and my cartilage, bones, and ligaments become weak, I will probably experience it too. ㅜㅜ
These days, on humid days like this, I brought a quote to remind you to be careful of arthritis.
In the early stages of arthritis, there are no specific symptoms, but a sense of abnormality is felt.
Of course, some people may immediately complain of pain. At this time, visiting a hospital and taking a knee X-ray can reveal subtle changes in the joint, allowing for a diagnosis of early arthritis. Therefore, when someone endures a certain level of pain for a long time before seeking medical help, it is often the case that the cartilage in the joint has worn down or been damaged for a while, progressing into degenerative arthritis, and the arthritis is already quite advanced.

What exactly is degenerative arthritis?
Degenerative changes in joint cartilage, bones, ligaments, and joint capsules eventually lead to a state accompanied by inflammation and pain. An example of degenerative change is like a rope; sometimes, when it is old, the rope becomes frayed and can break even with slight force. Similarly, joints may appear normal on the outside, but over time, structural changes at the microscopic level reduce the joint's strength. This can be understood as a general weakening, such as when walking long distances previously was easy, but gradually the knees feel heavy and painful.
Is degenerative arthritis a curable disease?
In the early stages, proper management can lead to a complete recovery. However, once the condition progresses beyond the intermediate stage, the regenerative capacity of the joint cartilage is limited, making natural healing difficult.
What are the methods to treat degenerative arthritis?
First, for patients who are slightly overweight, I recommend weight management through diet and exercise.
In many cases, when about 10% of body weight is lost through weight management, pain relief occurs and medication is no longer needed.
In addition to correcting these lifestyle patterns, there are also medication treatments. These include anti-inflammatory painkillers and joint supplements, as well as prescriptions related to nutrition that benefit the joints and help improve arthritis. Additionally, there are injection therapies such as cartilage injections that protect the joints, and in advanced cases, surgical treatments like arthroscopy to trim damaged joint cartilage, collagen therapy, or stem cell therapy.
What are some good lifestyle habits to prevent degenerative arthritis?
The most important thing is weight management.
Walking, climbing stairs, or ascending inclined surfaces are part of our daily activities. When weight is controlled, these inflammatory substances decrease, preventing the progression of tissues prone to degeneration. Excessively bending the knees, such as squatting or sitting cross-legged, places very heavy loads on the knee joint cartilage, which can lead to cartilage damage. Weight control and regular exercise are the best lifestyle habits.

Lynn체중조절과 자세에 더 신경써야겠네요 양반 다리는 안하는데 쪼그려 앉기 조심해야겠어요~~

나이가 한살 한살 드니,,, 무릎이 아프다는게 느껴져서 슬프네요.
파랭이관절이 날이 흐리면 아파지네요. 특히나 본인에게 약한 부위가 더 아파지는것 같네요 요증 허리가 자주 아파서 병원을 다니고 있는데 추운겨울이 아니라서 이상타했는데. 습한 날씨탓에 허리가 더 아팠네요.. 꾸준한 운동이 답이네요

병원을다니고 계시는군요... 관절 주변의 근육도 단련시켜보시는걸 추천 드려요.
