What causes knee pain in children?

Knee pain is a problem that troubles many elderly people, but it does not mean that only elderly people will experience knee pain. Many children also experience knee pain. Therefore, knee pain in children has nothing to do with arthritis, rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases in the elderly. So what are the causes of knee pain in children? Below we will introduce in detail the causes of knee pain in children.

Cold In daily life, most joint pains are not caused by trauma. Cold (especially continuous cold and huge temperature contrast) is the main cause of joint pain.

With the development of society, people's aesthetic concepts and living habits have changed a lot, and people pay more attention to physical beauty. Even in the cold winter, many people no longer wear thick cotton clothes, but try to reduce the burden on their bodies as much as possible to adapt to modern aesthetic concepts and the fast pace of life. But while experiencing the beauty, people have to pay the price of joint damage, because the cold can cause muscle and blood vessel contraction, causing joint pain.

Improper exercise: Some elderly people like to climb mountains, but if they do not do warm-up exercises or exercise too much, it may cause joint pain. Especially those who suffer from synovitis or osteoarthritis are more likely to suffer from joint diseases or aggravate them. In mountain climbing, when going down the mountain, the weight of the whole body is completely added to one knee joint, and the pressure on the knee joint is several times that when standing normally. The same thing happens when people go up or down stairs.

Bad walking habits, such as frequently wearing ill-fitting shoes or walking long distances in slippers or high heels, can cause the knee joint to be in an abnormal state of stress for a long time, resulting in chronic knee injury and pain.

Blind massage Some people blindly massage their joints when they have joint pain. Due to incorrect massage methods or excessive force, it may cause joint damage and aggravate pain.

How to protect your knee joints

First of all, you should keep warm and avoid excessive exercise. When walking long distances, be sure to choose shoes that fit your feet well. When joint pain occurs, do not massage vigorously.
