Pain in the right knee when it gets cold could it be rheumatism?

Patient's question:

Right knee hurts when it gets cold, but it's gone after one night. The next day, there's no feeling at all. It's a kind of ache, not too affecting sleep. Is this rheumatism? But I'm only 25.

Doctor's answer:

The reasons for knee pain after catching a cold may be rheumatism, or poor local blood circulation, such as synovitis, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital to see a joint department or a rheumatology department for a local DR or CT examination, and at the same time conduct a thorough examination of rheumatoid immunity such as ESR, rheumatoid factor, anti-O, anti-nuclear antibody, and uric acid to rule out joint pain caused by rheumatism and high uric acid.
