❌ 4 Common Mistakes in Treating Joint Pain at Home ❌
👉 Incorrect methods of treating joint pain, such as excessive use of hot oil or herbal compresses, can not only fail to alleviate the pain but also carry the risk of side effects. Many individuals are hesitant to visit a hospital for examination and treatment, opting instead for pain relief solutions at home. However, due to the following four common mistakes in self-treating joint pain, many people experience intensified and prolonged pain, along with various adverse effects that impact their overall health.
👉 Excessive use of hot oil and pain-relieving patches
Similar to hot compress therapy, the effects of oils, pain-relieving patches, or hot patches involve dilating blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the affected area, helping to relax muscles and alleviate pain and discomfort.
However, it is not advisable to massage with hot oil or apply pain-relieving patches when experiencing joint pain accompanied by swelling, as the heat can exacerbate inflammation. Additionally, this method should not be used on open wounds around the affected joint, as the deep pe*******on of hot oil into the skin can delay wound healing and sometimes cause skin irritation, blistering, or burns.
👉 Ceasing physical activity
Out of fear of pain and the belief that reduced joint movement is beneficial, many patients tend to rest excessively, meaning they minimize joint movements when experiencing pain.
Halting physical activity can lead to joint stiffness, muscle weakness, decreased joint flexibility, and an increased risk of injuries from falls. Conversely, maintaining physical activity and engaging in appropriate exercise routines can help reduce muscle tension, loosen stiff joints, and improve joint mobility.
👉 Applying unidentified herbal remedies
Many individuals nowadays tend to use crushed plant leaves as herbal compresses for relieving joint pain and discomfort. In some cases, applying these herbal remedies (such as betel leaves, mugwort, lime leaves, etc.) can help reduce swelling and alleviate joint pain. However, if used improperly or applied randomly, they can have unforeseen consequences.
Specifically, there have been numerous cases of patients applying unidentified plant leaves, unverified herbal remedies, or applying them to open wounds. The consequences can range from mild skin inflammation, swelling, redness, and stiffness in the joints to severe infections, tissue damage, and even the need for amputation.
👉 Misusing pain relievers
Pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications can provide temporary relief and make joint pain more bearable. However, these medications only address the symptoms and cannot eliminate the root cause of the pain.
Moreover, some pain relievers labeled as traditional Chinese medicine may contain active ingredients found in Western medicines, such as corticosteroids or dexamethasone. Indiscriminate use of such medications can lead to dependency, fluid retention, gastric ulcers, increased blood pressure, liver and kidney damage, bone density loss, and weakened immune system.
