40-year-old woman with knee pain

Once a person reaches middle-aged or old age, various symptoms will appear all over the body. For example, knee pain is a very serious problem. What is the cause of knee pain at the age of 40? What exactly causes such knee pain? If the age reaches 40 years old, the body begins to undergo greater changes, and even begins to decline. Let's briefly understand the actual cause of knee pain.

What causes knee pain at 40?

It belongs to the degenerative osteoarthritis of the kneecap, also known as osteoarthritis, which is mainly characterized by transformation and destruction of the joint cartilage, sclerosis of the subchondral bone, reactive hyperplasia of the joint edge and subchondral bone, and formation of osteophytes. The main manifestations are swelling and pain in the kneecap, difficulty in walking, difficulty in going up and down stairs, difficulty in squatting after standing, and inability to stand after squatting. It mainly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people after the age of 40 and is closely related to the decrease of female hormones and trauma in the body.

If confirmed, treatment recommendations can be

1. Use analgesic and antiviral drugs, Chinese medicine acupuncture, ointments and other treatments to achieve the effects of rapid swelling reduction, blood circulation and blood stasis removal, meridian relaxation and blood circulation, and eliminate joint stiffness, pain and swelling. In addition, calcium Chinese medicine preparations can be taken;

2. Ability to inject medication into some joints for treatment;

3. Knee arthroscopy is an effective treatment for osteoarthritis. It is not recommended to choose knee replacement surgery unless necessary.

It may also be damage to the collateral cruciate ligament. Over time, the cruciate ligament will become loose and unable to fix the kneecap, resulting in new problems such as hyperplasia and sharpening of the ankle ridge, desquamation of bone scales, and a significant decrease in the medial joint space.

This is a aging process. If you want to relieve it, I suggest you go to the orthopedics department of the hospital for treatment. You can use acupuncture, massage, high frequency and other methods combined with Yunnan Baiyao spray to help promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis and relieve pain. This is a chronic disease, so the treatment is also relatively long, 30% treatment and 70% care. Pay attention to keeping warm, be careful not to do strenuous exercise, and don't stand for too long.

After a person reaches the age of 40, walking will have more serious problems. Therefore, knee pain will occur at the age of 40. So what are the causes of knee pain at the age of 40? In fact, it can be treated with the above medication or joint surgery. In fact, no matter which treatment method is used, postoperative repair is also very important.
