What reason is old people leg ache caused

First, we should consider the possibility of osteoarthritis. As people get older, their physique becomes weaker and weaker, and there are more and more problems. Leg pain is a common symptom of elderly friends, which brings adverse effects on healthy life. There are many causes of leg pain in the elderly, the most common of which is osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common osteoarthritis in the elderly. It is a chronic disturbance syndrome characterized by degenerative joint cartilage. The incidence rate of people with age over 60 can reach 78%. The most common site of the disease is the knee joint, and the incidence of female is more than that of male, accounting for about 74% of all patients

Second, collagen accounts for a large proportion in the composition of bone and joint. It forms a network structure in the bone, which is responsible for adhering calcium and other nutrients to maintain the toughness of the bone. After 35 years old, collagen and calcium gradually lost. After 50 years old, the content of collagen is only half of that of 30 years old. The decrease of collagen leads to the degeneration of bone and joint structure, which is mainly manifested in the relaxation of ligaments, the decrease of muscle strength and flexibility, the thinning of articular cartilage thickness and the weakening of elasticity, thus leading to the decline of the overall stability and load capacity of joints, especially the knee joint, which is easy to cause knee joint damage and eventually lead to osteoarthritis.

Third: when the middle-aged and old people have lower limb pain, numbness, acid distension or intermittent claudication, many people mistakenly think it is old cold leg, osteoporosis, arthritis, etc.; after self diagnosis, they take some painkillers and supplement calcium, but the condition is not improved. In fact, if the elderly people have lower limb pain of unknown cause, it may be the evil result of arteriosclerosis occlusion of lower limbs
