Patient's question:
Right knee hurts when it gets cold, but it's better 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, or issues like synovitis. It is recommended to visit a hospital to see a joint specialist or a rheumatologist for a local examination, such as an X-ray or CT scan, and to conduct thorough tests related to rheumatoid immunity, such as ESR, rheumatoid factor, anti-O, anti-nuclear antibody, and uric acid, to rule out rheumatism and joint pain caused by high uric acid.
