In autumn, people with poor joints experience joint stiffness, pain, chills, and other symptoms. If they cannot seek immediate medical attention, they can use a simple hot compress at home to relieve them. However, this therapy is only applicable to patients with chills, painful osteoarthritis, and can not be used for swollen, inflamed arthritis patients.

After folding a pair of towels, the three sides are sewn together to leave a hole. It's best to sew tightly to prevent coarse salt particles from leaking out. Buy two pounds of coarse salt and fry the pan until it is hot. The hot salt is put into the towel from the reserved hole and the hole is sewn. Place the well-prepared salt hot pack on painful and cold joints. If the temperature of the hot pack is high, put some towels on the affected area to avoid scalding. Heat 15 to 20 minutes each time until the coarse salt gradually cools. The hot pack can be reused and heated in a microwave oven.

Many elderly people are plagued by arthritis for many years, but sports medicine experts still demand that patients with old arthritis should still move. Appropriate exercise can enhance the muscle strength around the affected joints, improve joint activity, relieve pain and so on.

Older patients with arthritis should choose non-weight-bearing exercises such as cycling, walking and swimming. Such as riding a bicycle can make the neck, back, arm, waist, buttocks muscles, joints get the corresponding exercise, lower limbs hip, knee, ankle and muscle also benefit. Swimming can exercise the whole body muscles. Because it overcomes the resistance of water rather than gravity during swimming, there is no damage to the bones and joints, especially swimming in warm water. Patients with old arthritis can choose the above activities for 2 to 3 times a day, each for about 30 minutes.

Since most patients with old arthritis have joint stiffness, they must perform stretching exercises before and after exercise. If the joint pain is more serious, heat the towel hot compress around the pain joint for about 10 minutes before exercise, and use a dry towel to wrap up the ice for cold compress after exercise, which can effectively reduce pain and redness.

Patients with old arthritis should try their best to choose the sports items they are interested in, love and persist in order to develop exercise habits.
