Causes of joint pain in monsoon: While the monsoon season brings greenery, coolness and freshness, it also becomes a problem for some people, especially for them, who are going through recovering after chronic pain, arthritis or any bone surgery. Complaints of pain, stiffness and swelling in the joints of knees, waist and hands and feet often increase during the rainy season. This is a common problem, which is directly related to the change in weather.
According to orthopedics, increased moisture and reduced temperature in the atmosphere during the monsoon affects the tissues present around the joints. This causes swelling, stiffness and pain in the joints and weakens bones. This moisture affects the tissue around our joints, causing them to feel a little swollen and feel stiff, especially in the knees and back, this problem is more.
Why does joint pain increase during rainy season?
Dr. Nitin in Orthopedic Department at Max Hospital Verma says that in the monsoon, the problem of joint pain increases in some people. This is mostly those who have any disease related to arthritis or spinal cord beforehand. The reason for increasing pain in this season is also decreased in the umbrella, which also reduces barometric pressure, causing a pressure in liquid and gaseous elements inside the body. It directly affects bones and joints, which can increase swelling and pain.
Apart from this, physical activity in monsoon decreases. People get out less, do not go on walking and sometimes they sit in one place. This reduces the speed of muscle and joints to be active, which makes the body feel stiff.
When the temperature falls with rain, the muscles and ligaments of the body start getting hard. This hinders the speed of bones and joints and even a slight action starts giving pain.
In such a situation, some effective measures can be adopted for relief.
