Patient's question:
I'm 18 years old this year. I noticed it this morning when I came down. There's no problem walking or going up and down stairs normally, but there's some soreness in the knees when I crouch or sit down. However, once I'm in the crouched position, it doesn't hurt anymore. The soreness isn't very painful. Now at night, it's much better than when I first came down this morning, but there's still some soreness. I read online that joint pain might be lupus, so it's hard to come and ask for help. What kind of help do I need: I read online that joint pain might be lupus, so it's hard to come and ask for help.Doctor's answer:
Just possibly, don't worry too much. Generally, systemic lupus erythematosus is more common in women and is related to estrogen. The pain you're experiencing might be related to excessive activity. In traditional Chinese medicine, pain is often considered a deficiency syndrome. You can look into traditional Chinese medicine for growing pains, which can greatly affect children. If family members notice any symptoms in the child, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, pay close attention to the child's diet. It is recommended to eat a lighter diet and avoid spicy foods that may affect health. We hope the child can receive professional treatment and recover quickly!
