Pain mostly occurs in the upper and lower knee joints, with pain or tingling, mostly in the evening or before going to bed, and the pain lasts for a few minutes, rarely more than an hour. The pain has no obvious fixed position and is not accompanied by redness, swelling and fever. If you apply hot compress or massage gently, the pain will soon go away.

Calcium deficiency is the common cause of knee pain. When the cartilage of knee joint is calcium deficient, the bone becomes thin and stiff, and the tolerance to pressure is correspondingly weakened; At this time, if the activity is excessive or the local pressure is too high, there will be pain. It is necessary to supplement calcium properly and eat more foods with high calcium content, such as milk, soybean milk, tofu, bone soup, shrimp, yuba and Chinese cabbage.
