Why does the pain increase with the increase of winter?

The Dhaka Times Desk Winter has come. In this land of six seasons, different forms of color appear in each season. Accustomed people try to adapt themselves to this change in nature. Many times it is seen that the pain increases with the increase of cold.

Although winter is called the season of festival, winter is considered as the season of pain for the elderly. Especially for those who suffer from arthritis or joint pain, winter is a dreaded name.

The pain seems to increase along with the cold. As the temperature drops, the intensity of the pain increases. But why? According to doctors, blood vessels in the joints or joints shrink when the temperature drops. At the same time, the blood temperature also decreases. Due to which the lump becomes hard and swollen. Due to this, the pain of many people increases.

This is exactly how the doctors explained the matter. And that is, our blood becomes relatively cold in winter. So we wear warm clothes during this time to keep the body warm. Due to the cold, blood flow to other parts of the body decreases. That is why the effect of pain is felt more on cold skin. And another name for this is rheumatism. Arthritis is common in people over 40 years of age. Women suffer more from this problem than men. Since the knee bears all the weight of the body, it is the most important part of the body that is affected first. In case of Rheumatoid Arthritis, other parts of the body or the whole body can be affected in addition to the joints or joints. Then there is pain and swelling all over the body. In many cases the arms and legs may also bend. Muscles become weak, sometimes there is fever.

Now the question is why the elderly suffer more from this problem? Doctors also have an explanation for this. They said - with increasing age, calcium and other minerals deficiency occurs in the body. The result is bone loss. Also the length and flexibility of the ligaments decreases. Because of which the joints become swollen.

First of all, doctors recommend sun exposure as an advice to avoid this problem. The soft morning sun is rich in vitamin D. So in the morning of winter you have to sit with your body exposed to the sun. Getting plenty of vitamin D into the body will reduce this pain and swelling of the joints. The body will be warmed by the heat of the sun. Blood circulation will also be faster, due to which the pain will decrease.
