Rainy weather brings joint pain for some elders among us

joints No Comments »

습한 장마철 관절 통증 악화..,
There has been a debate for decades about whether there is some type of a connection between weather changes and joint pain.
Some scientists express doubts, but our elders, who often experience chronic aches in the rainy season, beg to differ.
Lee Unshin has the full story.
The monsoon season has brought a wave of showers that, with the effects of climate change, seem to get more unpredictable by the year.
And yet, growing up, our grandparents somehow always had an idea about when it was going to rain.
Ever wondered how they could tell?

“Research has shown the link between joint pain and the weather, with rain more likely to affect your pain. In fact, people who suffer from arthritis claim that sometimes they can tell a storm is looming in advance.”

“My body can almost always predict weather changes. Aches start to kick in a couple days before the rain. I live in Galveston, Texas, where its extremely humid from the surrounding ocean, and the joint cramps are far worse when I’m there, compared to when I’m in Seoul.”

While the studies haven’t been entirely conclusive, a majority of doctors believes the correlation between weather changes and pain is more than plausible.
The knees, elbows and fingers — joints that go through a lot of wear and tear — seem to be particularly sensitive.
Bones and joints weakened by old age or injury are also reportedly more sensitive to the weather.

“When the humidity is high and the air pressure is low, it makes the joints swell a bit, which could cause pain. The best thing to do to if you suffer from chronic aches like these… is to avoid intense physical activity and take pain medication in advance.”

For people with less prognostic joints, there is a handy smartphone app that offers barometric pressure readings, so people can track potential changes that will affect how they feel.

However, doctors add that because not everyone with arthritic pain… experiences weather-related aches… people should consult a physician when considering medication.
They also say that further studies are required to confirm the link between joint pain and the weather.

Doctors are diagnosing Rheumatoid Arthritis much earlier now, to prevent joint damage and begin treatment as soon as possible. In this video, Dr. Uzma Haque, a physician at the Johns Hopkins Arthritis Center, explains the diagnosis process of Rheumatoid Arthritis.

As we age, we develop wear and tear of all of our joints, including in our feet and toes. Also known as Hallux Rigidus, arthritis of the great toe joint can cause you pain. Over time the cartilage in your big toe joint can get worn down, which can cause narrowing of the joint and can also cause bone spurs to form.

Podiatrist (foot and ankle surgeon) Dr. Jennifer Boeri discusses how arthritis progresses, how it causes pain, how arthritis is diagnosed and what treatments are available at different stages.

Top 7 SI Joint Pain Stretches & Exercises – Ask Doctor Jo

joints No Comments »

SI Joint pain (or sacroiliac joint pain) is often felt in the low back, and it’s on one side or the other. Sometimes it’s called a pelvic rotation. Here are some SI Joint pain stretches & exercises. More SI Joint Pain stretches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9de6ZZDscA&list=PLPS8D21t0eO9IAk7n1m87qrL9emA7bpxE&index=8

Want to become a member of my channel like the folks I mentioned in this video? Click here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjdxelARHGq3-3dN_neMOAQ/join

Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) are a great way to help get the SI joint back in alignment. They are basically isometric exercises. For the first technique, you need to know which way your rotation is, so if you don’t know, don’t do this exercise.

Next, pushing on your SI joint, and moving the leg in specific ways can sometimes help re-align the SI joint as well.

Often the SI joint also gets out of alignment from tight muscles. So it’s also important to stretch your hip flexors and hamstrings to help take pressure off the area.

Finally hip hikes and deep squats will help strengthen the area to keep it in alignment and protect the area.

SI Joint Dysfunction Exercises & Stretches - Ask Doctor Jo

SI Joint Dysfunction pain (or sacroiliac joint pain) is often felt in the low back, and it’s on one side or the other. Sometimes it’s called a pelvic rotation. See Doctor Jo’s blog post about this at: http://www.askdoctorjo.com/si-joint-dysfunction

SI Joint Dysfunction is often caused by a trauma. It can also be caused by tight hamstrings or hip flexors, and/or weak hamstrings or hip flexors. These stretches and exercises should help.

The first stretch is a hamstring stretch. You can stretch the hamstring many different ways, and you can check them out in my hamstring stretching video. Today I will show you the stretch with a strap or belt. Put a loop around your foot, and use the strap to bring your leg straight up into a stretch. Try to keep your knee straight, and don’t let it bend. You should feel the stretch in the back of your leg. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds, and do it three times on each side.

The next stretch will be on your stomach, or in prone. This will stretch your quadriceps muscle. Take a belt or dog leash and wrap around your foot/ankle. Take the strap and gently pull your foot towards your buttocks until you feel a stretch. Hold for 30 seconds and do it 3 times.

Now you will do a simple butterfly stretch. Sit on the ground, and put your feet together pulling them towards your body. If you need more of a stretch, you can place your elbows on your inner thighs, and apply gentle pressure downwards. Hold the stretches for 30 seconds, doing 3 of each set.

Then try some gentle trunk rotation stretches on your back with your knees bent in hooklying. Gently rotate your bent legs from side to side. You can hold them on each side for 3-5 seconds or you can continuously rotate them back and forth. Again, try to keep your lower back on the ground. You can start off with 10 and work your way up to 20-25.

Next, you will do some isometric exercises to help get the joint back in place. With isometric exercises and all exercises, make sure you are not holding your breath. If you cannot talk while you are performing exercises, then most likely you are holding your breath.

First take a belt and wrap it around your thighs just above your knees. Push outwards toward the belt like your legs are opening up like a clamshell. Hold for 3 seconds, and repeat 10 times. Then take a ball or pillow folded in half, and put it between your knees. Squeeze into the ball and hold for 3 seconds, repeat 10 times.

Finally, you will do a hip flexor stretch. Start in a kneeling position. Place the knee of the hip flexor you want to stretch on the ground, and take the opposite leg and bend it in front of you at a ninety-degree angle. You might want to place a pillow under your knee to protect it. You will be in a lunge position with the knee of your injured side on the ground. Now drive the knee forward away from your body. Hold for 30 seconds, and do this 3 times.
