How to distinguish lower extremity vascular occlusive diseases from knee joint diseases

The symptoms of lower extremity vascular occlusion have specific clinical manifestations, such as intermittent claudication. If it reaches a certain degree of severity, the patient will feel cold, numbness and discomfort in his feet. When he reaches a serious level after exercise, he will appear when he sleeps at night. We call it resting pain. In the later stage, this kind of resting pain will seriously affect his quality of life and his sleep and walking. Gangrene will appear at the far end in the later stage, and the feet will gradually turn black, just like crops, and the leaves will turn yellow without water. Finally, amputation may be inevitable, which can save his life.

Knee joint disease refers to a chronic bone and joint disease caused by cartilage degeneration and hyperosteogeny of knee joint, also known as proliferative arthritis, degenerative arthritis and osteoarthritis of knee joint. This disease mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, but there are also young people. It can happen unilaterally or bilaterally. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it knee arthralgia, and there are various treatment methods, including drug external application, traditional Chinese medicine treatment and minimally invasive needle knife treatment, among which the most accurate and effective ones are Chinese medicine massage and acupuncture treatment. It should be added that comprehensive treatment is much better than single treatment.
