Woman with sore knees and calves

Nowadays, more and more people are troubled by knee pain, and many of them cannot walk freely. Under normal circumstances, the service life of the kneecap is generally 60 years, but in actual daily life, many people have knee problems in their thirties and forties. It is no exaggeration to say that knee pain has become a common disease in our daily life.

Anyone who has a little knowledge of anatomy knows that the kneecap is composed of the femur, ankle, fibula and patella. These bones are large. In order to prevent collision with each other, the joints and meniscus near the middle of these bones act as buffers, absorbing the impact force from the middle of the bones. The synovial fluid produced by the synovial layer of articular cartilage helps lubricate the joints.

3 major causes of knee pain

1. Kneecap brittleness and deformation

For example, for older people, the knee joints are very prone to brittleness, causing wear of the joint cartilage and meniscus, resulting in pain. The total number of knee pains will continue to increase after the age of 40. Therefore, after the age of 40, even if there is no pain in the knee joint, it is necessary to improve the maintenance of the knee joint.

2. Knee bone tissue damage

For example, people who overload their knees jog for a long time, yoga beginners reluctantly give up the full lotus position for training, and people who exercise do weighted squats incorrectly. These exercises and injuries can have a significant impact on the kneecap, causing meniscus damage and cruciate ligament damage between the bones, resulting in pain.

3. Patellar inflammation

Pain caused by inflammation that causes the kneecap to deform, such as rheumatoid arthritis.

If the pain problems caused by natural aging of the knee joint and knee cap inflammation are eliminated, the problems caused by knee cap tissue damage can be avoided, and through proper training and maintenance of the knee joint, just like a person, the knee joint can always be "18 years old".
