Badminton Initial Osteoarthritis
This is another day when I took a serious look at my body. After a thorough examination of my knee, the doctor diagnosed me with early osteoarthritis between 1 and 2, which was quite surprising because with a relatively strong age and thigh muscles, there was not much chance of birth.
But looking back at behavior over the past 10 years, the answer is clear...
One of the main runaway reasons is badminton, the sport I love the most.
About 10 years ago, I could hardly call it badminton addiction, one day on the field for a minimum of three hours, one day playing non-exhaustive, one day playing from five games to seven to eight, one day playing from five games to seven to eight, and then jumping, hitting, and stopping, and then the body starts to signal back today (in fact, before, it was all injuries, almost the whole body).
I stopped playing badminton about six years earlier because of an ankle problem, and I had surgery, but when I came back, my knee problem almost immediately followed.
The symptoms are
- I can't sit around.
- Bend your knees or fold your legs.
- Always feeling stiff and pain.
- Night pain to disturb sleep.
- Need painkillers to get enough relief.
I finally decided to do a serious exam and got the answer that the knee joint began to deteriorate.
After all, it's going to take a big behavior change, even though badminton is the sport I love so much, but when I think about the long-term quality of life, I have to drop or quit to keep my knees as long as possible.
It may require switching to less impact exercises such as cycling or swimming instead.
Now the most important thing is to get the inflammation and swelling down first, with rest, splint, pills and avoiding heavy use.
One thing I want to leave you with is...
Don't be complacent with the knee (even if he doesn't love us, but we have to love the knee 🤭 a different story)
Because legs and knees are what will take us anywhere in life.
I still have a lot of dreams, I want to travel, I want to live a lot, so this event is like a warning that the body is not getting the same, and it's time for us to cherish it more.
Many people think that osteoarthritis is an old man's disease, but not at all.
Knee osteoarthritis can begin at about the age of 40 or even earlier, especially those with knee injuries, heavy weight.
Use heavy knees, need to squat, kneel, or play impact sports often.
In the past, I also treated the wrong way to suck water out of my knees too quickly, sometimes as if to encourage more inflammatory knee tissue, even if the swelling is temporarily reduced.
Because as long as the inflammation doesn't heal, the water in the knee joints can continue to swell and swell.
For anyone who begins to suspect that they may have osteoarthritis, observe these initial symptoms.
- Knee pain when walking up and down stairs, especially when going down.
- Morning deflated knee. About 5-30 minutes.
- There's a "gag tap" sound when stretching or bending the knee.
- Sitting back pain or longevity.
- Lively swollen knees.
- Heavy use, then more pain, but rest, then better.
Finally, you have to accept the truth and modify your behavior to delay the symptoms from entering stage 3-4.
Exercise, rest and weight control.
So I want to share the experience with my friends. Be careful and take care of yourself.
Because sometimes... the body warns us before it's too late.
If your friends are wondering about knee function, look at the graphics I have attached, and tell you what each function is, you can understand the knee injury.
