What causes morning stiffness?

Experts from Beijing 466 Hospital said that morning stiffness is a very prominent clinical manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis, which mainly refers to the stiffness and limited movement of the affected joints for a long time in the morning after the diseased joints are stationary at night, such as glue adhesion. People with rheumatoid arthritis may experience morning stiffness when they wake up in the morning, which gradually improve with a little activity. So?

Rheumatoid arthritis is more common in small joints such as hands, wrists, and feet, and is symmetrically distributed. In the early stage, the joints have redness, swelling, heat and pain and dysfunction, and in the late stages, the joints can have different degrees of stiffness and deformity, which are very easy to cause disability, and most of these patients have symptoms of joint stiffness, which is often the first symptom of joint lesions, and the joints of the whole body can be stiff when the condition is severe. Morning stiffness occurs when edema fluid accumulates in the inflamed tissues during decreased sleep or exercise, causing swelling of the tissues around the joints.

After the patient is active, as the muscles contract, the edema fluid is absorbed by the lymphatic vessels and venules, and morning stiffness is relieved. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have morning stiffness in the acute or active phases, and the duration is proportional to the severity of synovitis.

However, in addition to rheumatoid arthritis, patients with osteoarthritis and lupus erythematosus can have morning stiffness, but it generally does not last for more than 1 hour like rheumatoid arthritis. Mr. Wang must go to the hospital as soon as possible to check and confirm the diagnosis, so as to be early**.

Morning stiffness is a phenomenon caused by poor flow of qi and blood.

When the body is poor, the meridians and blood vessels in the body are blocked, or the joints are diseased, or the body is cold and damp, then the body's qi and blood will slow down.

When running slowly, the joints lack the moisture of qi and blood and stiffen, but some people will get up and move for a while, but the blood stasis in the body has not changed.

Therefore, to restore it, it is necessary to strengthen the physique, speed up the circulation of qi and blood around the body, unblock the blockages, discharge the cold, dampness and garbage in the body, so that the qi and blood in the body are sufficient and accessible, then it can be restored.

Because the flow of people's qi and blood at night is much slower than during the day, when the meridians and blood vessels in the person's body are blocked, or there are joint problems, the flow of people's qi and blood is very slow at this time.

Then after sleeping for a night at night, the flow of qi and blood at night is slower, and the joints are the place where qi and blood meet, and this place is the most prone to blockage, so there will be a situation where the joints feel stiff in the morning.

To restore it, you need to strengthen your physique, speed up the circulation of qi and blood in the body, and unblock the places where the meridians are blocked, so that the qi and blood in the body can be unimpeded, and it will be restored.
