Does sitting and standing for a long time cause knee joint degeneration? Add insoles to shoes to solve pain problems

Uncle Wang, 65, used to work in warehousing. He often stood for more than 3 hours continuously, and it was common for him to stand for more than 10 hours throughout the day. In addition, he loves sports and occasionally participates in various sports during holidays. I didn't do much running, and over time I felt recurring pain on the inside of my knee. Only when I went to the doctor did I find out that it was degenerative arthritis.

Zhou Liwei, director of the Rehabilitation Department of Asia University Hospital, said that degenerative arthritis can be divided into primary and secondary forms. The former is mostly caused by aging, while the latter is mostly caused by injuries, metabolic diseases and other reasons. Destruction of articular cartilage, stuck knees, inability to stand for long, squatting, etc. are all precursors of degenerative arthritis, and you should be particularly careful.

With today's westernized diet, work style and demands, degenerative arthritis is no longer a patent for the elderly, and has a trend of getting younger. Therefore, such as flight attendants , counter sisters, operators, nurses and other groups who need to stand and walk for a long time, due to the uneven force on the inner and outer sides of the knee, the knee cartilage wears out, the inner knee joint space is narrow, and the force on the soft tissue on the inner knee increases, which in turn causes inner knee pain. .
