Question 1

when me and my sister go out in the cold we get ankle,back and knee pain and was wondering why ?

Accepted Answer

Joint pain: Joint pain in relation to the weather may be a real phenomenon. The good news is that the weather, including cold weather, is not associated with inflammatory arthritis. If your symptoms persist, I recommend seeing a rheumatologist.

Question 2

i hurt my knee at dance. it got better but still hurts sometimes, i get a cold feeling in it and this spreads, it also gets cramp. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: You need a definitive diagnosis, and then an appropriate treatment plan can be constructed. It's time to see an orthopedic or sports medicine doctor for an evaluation.

Question 3

how do i get knee and ankle pain due to cold feet?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated: Several things could be going on.  Cold feet can be a result of poor blood flow.  This can cause pain in an extremity.  Another possibility is nerve damage which could cause you to believe your foot is cold. Finally, the pain and cold symptoms may be unrelated.  Either way, an evaluation by your primary care physician would be a good place to start.

Question 4

my left leg below the knee, on the left side keeps going cold.......even when i rub it or cover it with blankets it doesn't get warm.

Accepted Answer

Pvd: This could very likely be related to peripheral vascular disease or pvd. Seeing a physician could help determine if this is the case.  A vascular surgeon specializes in treating these problems.  I hope this helps.

Question 5

my 14 year old daughters knees get very sore when cold it has spread to her finger and ends up with her not being able to move her fingers and knees ?

Accepted Answer

Cold weather blues: Your daughter may have two separate conditions. Her knees may be affected by osgood schlatter disease which may be caused by vasoconstricton of the small blood vessels supplying the knees. The pain in her hands may be ray aid phenomenon which is also caused by vasoconstriction of the blood vessels due to the cold. Warm mittens and heavy knee socks may be helpful.

Question 6

i was in an abusive relationship 3 years ago and the guy injured my right knee i still get the sharp shooting and stabbing pain at night and when it is cold will the pain ever go away what do i need to do?

Accepted Answer

Consult your doctor: Three years is a long time to live with pain. Why have you not consulted your doctor? It is difficult to suggest a treatment without examining the knee and may be doing imaging studies, please do yourself the favor of getting advice and treatment from your doctor.

Question 7

fluid on knee so big can't bend knee & toes on that foot r cold, no overuse or injury. how 2 get/keep rid as it's been coming back for over 10yrs

Accepted Answer

Knee effusion : Knee effusions can be from inflammatory arthritis, trauma w/who meniscus tears, hemarthrosis but what is surprising to me is that you have this for 10 years!. See a rheumatologist that can aspirate your fluid and analysis can show for example inflammation. Also blood work can ruled out Lyme disease for example, do it now since large amount of fluid is not normal.

Question 8

when it is cold or rainy outside my knees, hips, and hand joints get very painful and stiff. what could this be im 23 with no injuries to those areas?

Accepted Answer

Rheumatology: Best place to start, given your symptoms, would be with a consult with a rheumatologist.  Without a history of injuries, concern would be for early inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Question 9

37 years old and constant pain in my knees and legs when weather is cold?
i sit behind a desk for work  and randomly do get up to take a walk but no excessive standing walking or running and i don't exercise at alll

Accepted Answer

Sciatica: The answer to your pain is simple -start out with a regular break of a short walk every few hours, get a pedometer to measure steps, and stop sitting so much - get a standing desk that can adjust and you pain will go away with time !

Question 10

hi there, over the last two months i have developed pain in joints, in my hips knees and ankles. they get especially sore when it is very cold outside or if i get cold. i find in hard to bend or kneel on my knees. it's so sore?

Accepted Answer

Need eval...: Are they also getting swollen when there is pain? Do you notice any redness? Do you notice stiffness and, if so, does it worsen with movement? With rest? You would likely benefit from seeing a rheumatologist to find out what is causing your symptoms and to get treatment. After examining you, the rheumatologist will send you for tests-blood tests, imaging studies, etc. to help with the diagnosis.
