Recently, Ho Chi Minh City has been experiencing heavy rain and storms, and many people have started noticing increased pain in their knees, lower back, shoulders, and neck whenever the weather changes.

Many studies suggest that cold weather, high humidity, and changes in atmospheric pressure may make people with arthritis or osteoarthritis more sensitive to pain.

When the cartilage inside the joints becomes worn down, the nerves underneath become more exposed and sensitive to environmental changes. Before heavy rain, drops in atmospheric pressure may cause tendons, muscles, and tissues around the joints to expand and contract, leading to pain, stiffness, and discomfort.

Many people experience symptoms such as:
• Dull knee pain
• Difficulty standing up or sitting down
• Increased shoulder, neck, and lower back pain
• Joint stiffness in the early morning or at night

Weather itself is not the cause of joint disease, but it can temporarily worsen symptoms, especially in people with existing arthritis or joint degeneration.

During rainy and cold weather, remember to:
• Keep your body and joints warm
• Stay physically active with gentle movement daily
• Avoid sitting or lying down for too long
• Seek medical attention if pain persists or frequently returns

Alsavin – a product from Germany, with just one injection, may help relieve knee joint pain for up to 12 months, allowing patients to move more comfortably and enjoy daily activities with greater ease.
