Many millennia ago, a person in the process of evolution separated from all other living beings, rising from a four-toed two legs. On the one hand there was a huge plus, hands were freed, which can be put into any business. And on the other - appeared and accompanying the new condition sores. In particular, we pay for musculoskeletal disorders of the musculoskeletal system, osteochondrosis, scoliosis, radiculitis and arthritis. And most of all goes to our feet, for it is on them that the whole structure of our body is held. They are born and talked about today, namely about why and from what after long loads, trainings or after running pains the knees. With what it is connected and how to cope with this problem.
Why and why do the knees, clinic and psychosomatics hurt?
Causes, leading to painful sensations in the knee joint, very, very much. These are arthritis - inflammation of articular surfaces, and arthrosis - trophic irreversible changes in cartilage and articular tissues, and bursitis - defeats surrounding knee protective membranes and ligaments. And bruises, sprains, dislocations and fractures, infectious lesions, the consequences of metabolic disorders and God knows what else. And how many such cases are associated with violation of safety rules in sports! In a word, the knees hurt many, if not to say, all. And in order to return to them a less normal state, one must know the true cause of the ailment. So let's examine it in detail.
Why do the knees ache after running or training?
You are young, full of energy, love an active lifestyle and do some sports, jogging, for example. And all until recently it was good. But after the last three or four trainings, you began to notice that after the run, your knees are aching badly, what is the reason.
For a deeper understanding of the answer to this question, one must first understand the anatomy of the knee. The knee joint consists of two articular surfaces, formed by the upper part of the tibial and the lower head of the femur. At the front of their connection is covered by a patella or in another way a patella. A small group of muscles of the lower leg and thighs surrounds them. Inside the knee is a special lubricant called the intra-articular fluid. All this allows the knee to fully fulfill its main function - to ensure the movement of the body in space and to maintain it in the right position. In a word, it would be extremely difficult for us to walk without a knee.
But the knee joint is designed primarily for calm, even walking, and not for a rapid run with a flight phase and a jerk on landing. These very jerks and ruin our joints. After all, the pressure at each of them increases tenfold, which is extremely damaging for articular surfaces. Over time, they are erased, the intra-articular fluid thickens, first inflammations appear, and then irreversible changes in muscles and bones. And now our knees hurt at any malomalskoy load. But we still have to live and live. Oils in the fire can pour and excess weight, and professional characteristics, and the need to wear weights,
What should I do if my knees hurt?
First of all, find out the reason and, if possible, fix it. And it is better to protect your health from a younger age. It's not for nothing that the old people say, take care of the honor from the youth, and the dresses from the new. This also concerns the knees. Sport is certainly good, but in moderation. And besides, besides running there are many other kinds, sports walking, for example. In short, if you want to live to old age and do not know diseases in the knee joints, keep them healthy, take care of them, watch your weight and pressure, eat properly, dress in the weather and walk more often outdoors. We wish you good luck and good health.
