Knee soreness is often caused by poor blood circulation due to careless heating, local fatigue, cold and other factors at the knee, or knee osteoarthritis due to age factors, excessive weight bearing of the knee joint and other factors. If it is the first case, first of all, pay attention to rest, keep warm locally, and properly give hot compress, massage, physiotherapy and other methods to increase local blood circulation to improve symptoms. It can also be externally treated with ointment for activating blood circulation and relieving pain, and oral non steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. If it is caused by osteoarthritis, it depends on the situation. Intraarticular injection of steroids can be used to diminish inflammation and relieve pain, or sodium hyaluronate can be used to nourish articular cartilage. Generally, after the above treatment, the symptoms can be significantly relieved. For patients with severe knee osteoarthritis, if the function is obviously limited, the artificial knee replacement can be considered.
