The joint with the most membranes, so the knee is more common in synovitis. Chronic synovitis of the knee joint is the widest and most complex of the human joints, and it also forms the largest synovial cavity. Because the knee joint is heavy, it has a lot of movement and is most vulnerable to injury. The synovium is mainly distributed around the joints. It communicates with the joint cavity and secretes lubricating fluid to lubricate the joint. Inflammatory reactions caused by various etiologies (such as osteogenesis, arthritis, joint tuberculosis, rheumatism and traumatic trauma, bone injury, joint damage, surrounding soft tissue damage, surgery, etc.) The synovium responds to the stimulus of inflammation by secreting exudate. If pain occurs, strictly speaking, as long as there is exudate in the joint, synovial inflammation is proved, which mainly shows joint congestion and swelling, pain, increased exudation, joint effusion, difficulty in squatting, and limited function. Chinese medicine believes that this disease is caused by exogenous evils, joint injuries, blocked points, and accumulation of fluid. Traditional Chinese medicine can completely cure radically from pathology.

How to recover from chronic synovitis of the knee joint

It mainly cooperates with rest. It is forbidden to do excessive exercise. You can walk slowly. Do not take too long for 5-10 minutes. Two or three times a day is enough. If there is a lot of fluid, you should rest properly, raise the affected limb, and do it on the bed. Knee function exercise, exercise of the quadriceps is an important and effective treatment. You can lie on your back, relax your muscles, and do your own quadriceps muscle contraction exercise 30 times, 2-3 times a day, with straight leg lift Exercise 30 times, 2-3 times a day (mild synovitis usually does not require bed rest to live normally. After the acute inflammation control edema is eliminated, you can get out of bed and do a single leg upright endurance test with your palms on the cheekbones Do circle exercises, sit on a bench and do kick exercises, and cooperate with the squat function during the consolidation period (you can first support or squat with a healthy limb). The above methods should not be rushed in a gradual manner, and gradually increase the amount of exercise and match Synovium Kangshu can better relieve symptoms.

Exercise alone cannot effectively prevent synovitis. Actively treat other conditions of the knee joint and eliminate hidden dangers, such as periarticular ligament damage, sacral softening, and osteoarthritis. These are common causes of this disease, and strengthen the waist and hips. 3. Leg muscle strength training to enhance the stability of the knee joint and avoid sports injuries or trauma. In short, any method to prevent knee arthritis is of great significance to prevent synovitis.

Chronic synovitis of the knee joint synovitis

Synovial membrane is a layer of membranous tissue that surrounds the joint. It is not only a layer of tissue that protects the joint, but also produces joint fluid, which provides "lubricating fluid" for the movement of the joint. Synovial cells secrete fluids that can lubricate and nourish joints. The thermal energy generated by the knee joint when the body moves depends on the synovial fluid and its blood circulation. When the joint is affected by external and internal factors, the synovium reacts, causing congestion or edema, and exudation of fluid, and then there will be "joint edema", which manifests as joint swelling, pain, and functional impairment. It can also be said that as long as there is fluid in the joint cavity, there is synovial inflammation. Medical research confirms: knee synovitis, ankle synovitis, hip synovitis, bursitis, traumatic arthritis, traumatic synovitis, osteoarthritis, osteogenesis, rheumatoid arthritis , Waist and leg pain and other diseases. The pain is caused by inflammation of the synovium, so it comes down to treating synovitis. The knee joint is the joint that bears the most weight in the human body. It is conceivable that people have to work, study, and load every day. Synovitis is directly related to the weight-bearing activities of the knee joint. Correct activities not only help to recover from pain, but also prevent old diseases. relapse. Avoid sports that cause trauma or strain, and reduce knee load and flexion and extension.

Causes of chronic knee synovitis pain

Inflammation of the soft tissues of the joints can also be purely local arthritis or part of a systemic disease. The inflammatory substances released into the synovial cavity have caused damage to the articular cartilage, and the proliferation of the synovium during the inflammation has caused secondary damage to the articular cartilage and subchondral bone, so pain will still occur after the effusion subsides. This is Many elderly people have the symptoms of hyperplasia and pain in the elderly after the acute inflammation has improved at a young age.

Causes of chronic knee synovitis

1. The elderly suffer from knee synovitis, mostly secondary to osteoarthritis of the knee. The main reason is the mechanical biochemical stimulation of cartilage degeneration and osteogenesis, which causes edema and exudation of the synovium of the knee. And effusions.

2. The causes of knee synovitis in young adults are mostly caused by acute trauma and chronic injury. Most have a history of acute knee trauma. After the injury, the knee joint began to develop mild edema, pain, limited mobility, and lameness. Synovial reactive effusion usually occurs 6-8 hours after injury, and the knee joint is swollen, feverish, and afraid to move. Examination revealed that the knee flexion and extension were limited, squatting was difficult and accompanied by pain, and there were localized tender points around the joint, and the floater test was positive.

Chronic traumatic knee synovitis may not have a significant history of trauma. The main manifestations are soft knee joints and limited movement. The swelling persists and does not dare to squat. Aggravated when activities increased, relieved after rest. For those who have been chronically ill, they can feel the thickness of the knee joint capsule. For those who have multiple knee effusions or who have repeated effusions, joint effusions can be performed. It can reflect the nature and severity of synovitis. Acute trauma includes: knee sprain, meniscus injury, collateral ligament or cruciate ligament injury, fluid in the joint or sometimes hemorrhage, manifested as acute traumatic knee synovitis. Sometimes it can also be caused by simple synovial injury of the knee joint, such as minor trauma, or chronic chronic knee strain. Coupled with wind, cold, and wet infestation, the knee joint can gradually swell and dysfunction, and chronic knee synovitis is formed.

Knee synovitis is divided into joint swelling type and non-swelling type . Joint swelling type is mainly swelling after excessive exercise, and pain varies. Non-swelling type of synovitis of the knee joint, mainly joint pain, often accompanied by mild swelling. Studies have confirmed that the two types are essentially the same, except that the degree of pathological changes in the synovium varies. Researchers have found that when the knee joint is subjected to single-action excessive exercise for a long time, the synovial tissue is congested and edema, and the exudation of red, white blood cells and cellulose is positively related to the increase in intra-articular pressure and the decrease in partial oxygen pressure. When the output rate exceeds the compensatory absorption rate of the synovium, the joint effusion, which will continue to increase the internal pressure of the joint cavity, the vicious cycle of continued decline in oxygen partial pressure, long-term synovial degeneration, fatty metaplasia and other chronic aseptic inflammation, Therefore, it is believed that the occurrence of traumatic knee synovitis after excessive exercise is not only related to repeated tapping of the articular surface, damage to the joint capsule, but also plays an important role in the development and outcome of the disease course.

Traumatic knee synovitis is easily misdiagnosed as "benign arthralgia". It is given only symptomatic treatment with poor results and often has sequelae. Because the degree of synovial lesions and the exudation of synovial fluid are positively related to the increase in intra-articular pressure and the decrease in partial oxygen pressure, increasing the partial oxygen pressure in the joint cavity and reducing the intra-articular pressure can promote inflammation absorption and synovial repair effect.

3. Another cause of knee synovitis is infection. Synovial tuberculosis and rheumatoid arthritis are common. Generally speaking, the synovium is rich in blood vessels, has good blood circulation, and has strong resistance to bacteria. However, in the case of tuberculosis infection, the disease progresses slowly, and its symptoms are sometimes good and bad, which is one of the chronic knee synovitis.

Treatment of chronic synovitis of knee joint

First of all, avoid sports that cause trauma or strain, and reduce knee load and flexion and extension. Exercising the quadriceps is an important and effective treatment. Raising straight legs can promote blood circulation and facilitate the absorption of joint effusions. Mild knee synovitis generally does not require bed rest and can walk short distances. Should be appropriate to rest, raise the affected limb, do knee functional exercises on the bed.

For the treatment of synovitis of the knee joint, the clinical use of effusion, local injection, pressure bandaging, and antibiotics is generally used to control the disease. After the effusion has basically disappeared, it can be combined with hot compresses, physical therapy, and acupuncture to consolidate the effect. It is important to note that if the treatment is not standardized and thorough, and the effusion is not completely eliminated, the condition will rebound. The effusion will be drawn more and more, the condition will gradually become chronic, the synovial membrane will be hypertrophic, fibrous calcification, joint adhesion, and function. Restricted. Needle-knife release and proper orthopedic manipulation are needed when necessary!

Chronic Synovitis Massage

Wash your hands with lukewarm water and rub them against each other until they are warm after drying. Find a quiet environment, preferably on a bed. Wear shorts only to expose your legs.

Point six points: stand or sit flat on the bed, legs can lie flat or bend your knees naturally. Rub your hands together and use your thumbs to press 6 acupoints on the leg with synovitis. The intensity should be from light to heavy, and you can feel numbness at the corresponding acupoints. The order of the 6 acupoints is as follows: Huanju, Futu, Fengshi, Knee-eye, Acupoint, and Xuehai. Press each point for 2 minutes.

Push your thighs: sit flat on your bed with your legs flat or naturally bent. Rub your hands and flatten your leg with synovitis. Push your hands slowly from the base of your thighs to your knees. The intensity will gradually increase from light. When doing this step, the mind is focused on the part pushed by the hand, and the mind and blood are pushed by the hand toward the knee. Push for 3 minutes.

Press the knee: Sit flat on the bed with the affected leg flat or naturally bent. Rub your hands and press the affected knee with both hands: first press left and right (left hand on the left of the knee, right hand on the right of the knee) for 1 minute, then press up and down (one hand on the upper part of the knee and the other hand on the lower part of the knee) for 1 minute , Then press the knee joint in all directions (use the palms of both hands to rub the knee from all angles until the knees get hot) for 2 minutes. When you do this, focus on the areas where your hands and knees are in contact. Note: When pressing, press hard with the palm of your hand, similar to the force of kneading.

Foot and leg guidance: Sitting flat on the bed. Take the left knee suffering from synovitis of the knee as an example:

In the first step, the left knee is bent, the left hand is holding the toe part, and the right hand is holding the heel part;

In the second step, the left hand pulls the toes to the left, and the right hand pulls the heels to the right, slowly pulling until it can't move, the intensity should be soft, and at the same time cooperate with breathing for exhalation;

In the third step, still hold your toes and heels with both hands, and slowly pull to let the feet return to their natural position while cooperating with inhalation. Repeat the second and third steps above 10 times. If the right leg is sick, the opposite is true.

Apply Tongtong Xiaotong cream externally every night, and wipe the skin with ginger water and ginger, then directly apply the plaster to the affected area, one on each side. Note: The traction must be gentle, the movement must be slow, and the range must be unmovable.

Traditional Chinese medicine plaster therapy for chronic synovitis of knee joint

The treatment of synovitis is mainly to regulate the microcirculation system. As long as the microcirculation is unblocked, the stagnant water will disappear and the inflammation will be relieved. The role of the traditional Chinese medicine surgical plaster (Jinchuang Huoluo cream) is also here. Principle: External application of plaster stimulates nerve endings, expands blood vessels through reflection, promotes local blood circulation, improves nutrition of surrounding tissues, promotes fluid absorption in the bursa, and achieves the purpose of eliminating inflammation and synovial inflammation in the bursa.

Chronic synovitis of the knee joint synovitis precautions

Synovitis is a joint disease caused by inflammation of the synovial membrane, causing imbalance of secretion and formation of effusion. For a long time, it has affected the normal life and work of patients, which has brought a lot of trouble. Some patients go to doctors for repeated attacks. The pain is terrible, and even a psychological shadow is overcast. Synovitis is an incurable disease. Can synovitis be completely cured? We believe that we should pay attention to three links:

1. Clear diagnosis in time;

2. Timely and effective thorough treatment, external application of Chinese medicine Wulakun ointment can be used for complete radical cure;

3. Timely functional exercises and daily health care are indispensable for these three links.

Chronic Synovitis Synovitis Diet Principles

Eat less milk such as milk and goat's milk, and foods containing tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan such as peanuts, chocolate, millet, cheese, toffee, etc., because it can produce arthritis-promoting prostaglandins, Leukotriene, tyrosine kinase autoantibodies and anti-milk IgE antibodies, etc., can easily cause allergies and cause exacerbation, recurrence or worsening of arthritis.

Eat less fat, high animal fat and high cholesterol foods. Because of the ketone bodies, acids, arachidonic acid metabolites, and inflammatory mediators, it can inhibit the function of T lymphocytes, easily cause and aggravate joint pain, swelling, decalcification and loosening of bone and joint destruction.

Eat less sweets, because its sugars are prone to allergies, can increase the development of joint synovitis, and easily cause joint swelling and pain.

Drink less alcohol, coffee, tea and other beverages, and pay attention to avoid passive smoking, because they can exacerbate arthritis.

Appropriate amount of animal blood, eggs, fish, shrimp, legumes, potatoes, beef, chicken and beef "tendon" meat and other foods rich in histidine, arginine, nucleic acids and collagen.
