Joint Pain Winter Health: Joint pain becomes a problem for some people during cold days. Joint pain in winter increases to a great extent in this season. Due to this, even walking, getting up and sitting becomes difficult. A study in the Journal of Rheumatology in 2015 revealed that people who have knee, foot or other joint pain, their problems increase whenever the temperature drops. In this study, data of a total of 810 people suffering from osteoarthritis was kept and on this basis the effect of daily temperature was seen. A 2007 study of 200 people with knee osteoporosis also found that joint pain increased for every 10 degree drop in temperature.
What does the report say, why does joint pain increase?
1. Thickening of joint fluid
According to the report of the Orthopedic Institute, the synovial fluid present in the joints acts as a shock-absorber. When the temperature drops, the fluid becomes thick and cannot flow properly, due to which the joint becomes hard and pain increases.
2. Nerve related problems
It was told in this report that people who have ever suffered from joint pain or have suffered minor injuries may suffer from joint pain due to their nerves. During cold weather, their nerves may become hypersensitive due to wounds, swelling or any other reason, due to which the temperature drops causing pain in the joints.
3. Decrease in physical activities
Due to laziness during cold days, physical activities reduce, due to which the pain of people already suffering from joint pain increases. Therefore, one should keep doing pranayam, yoga and exercise regularly. Daily routine should also be improved during winter season.
Some ways to get rid of joint pain
1. Eat only healthy and nutritious food.
2. Use heating pads to reduce joint pain.
3. Do exercise-yoga regularly.
4. Do not let there be lack of water in the body when the temperature drops.
