You use your knees every time you walk Hyun-Jin Ryu Jersey , run, or move your lower body at all. Knee pain, therefore, dramatically affects the daily life of sufferers, who must use their knees throughout the day. Knee pain is the second only to back pain among American adult pain sufferers. Knee trouble is most often caused by osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint condition in which the cartilage that surrounds the two bones that comprise the knee joint wears away, sometimes causing painful joint-on-joint contact. There are many treatment options for knee pain. Under the care of a doctor, sufferers can select the most appropriate course of treatment to provide optimum knee pain relief. Over-the-counter and prescription medications including acetaminophen (Tylenol) and aspirin reduce pain, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) including ibuprofen, can reduce inflammation as well as knee joint pain. At-home remedies like ice packs and capsaicin, found in cayenne pepper, often have a similar effect. Natural supplements like chondroitin and glucosamine have become popular alternatives to traditional medicines in recent years because they present fewer risks of side effects. Both are naturally occurring substances in the body. The former aids in building joint cartilage, while the latter fights against degeneration of cartilage. Studies have proven their effectiveness in alleviating osteoarthritic joint pain, but have yet to demonstrate that these supplements actually reverse the effects of cartilage degeneration that have already taken place.Modifying knee activity with physical aids such as padding, crutches, and splints, and even simple rest take the pressure off of the knee and provide temporary knee pain relief while the joint recovers from injury. Conversely, specific exercises, stretching, and low-impact aerobic activities such as biking, walking and swimming increase joint strength and flexibility, promoting healing and reducing the risk of further injury. For severe knee injuries that have not responded to the aforementioned treatments, surgery remains an option. There are several common knee surgeries, which range from exploratory arthroscopic surgery, which orthopedic physicians use to diagnose the exact source of knee pain so that they can determine which behaviors and activities need to be modified, all the way to a total knee replacement. Whichever course of treatment a patient decides upon, it is important to work alongside a physician to ensure proper care.
BEIJING, March 22 (Xinhua) -- Flowers are not the only signs of life that come with the spring thaw. Warmer weather has brought blossoming tourism to China as well.
Last week, the Beijing municipal government released a list of 192 spots in the city for citizens to enjoy the spring flowers, including peach blossoms, magnolias, apricot flowers, winter jasmine and a dozen others that bloom from March to May.
The recommended spots cover an area of 22 million square meters, according to the city's gardening and urban greening department. Nearly 100 cultural events such as folklore performances and botany exhibitions will be held during the period.
The tourism department of central China's Hubei Province has also picked 20 travel routes for tourists looking to appreciate floral beauty in the countryside.
The routes range from convenient spots in the suburbs to astonishing views in remote mountains, said Zhou Zhengsu, deputy director of the provincial tourism department.
High-speed "flower express" trains have started running in northwestern China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to help tourists on their spring outings.
Nearly 2,000 people took the express train to enjoy the apricot flowers in Turpan last weekend, while others traveled to the Xinjiang city by inter-city bus or car.
"We have mobilized departments to serve incoming tourists and make sure they have a pleasant stay in Turpan," said Chen Shuguo, head of the local tourism department.
A travel agency in the eastern city of Wuxi told Xinhua that high-speed trains to scenic spots famous for spring flowers have become a hit in recent weeks. Tour packages offer journeys spanning from three to five days at prices ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 yuan (150 - 300 U.S. dollars).
The upcoming Tomb-sweeping Day holiday, which will be observed from April 2 to 4 this year, will be prime time for plant-loving tourists to catch rapeseed flowers in bloom, said Zhang Liang, manager of the travel agency.
Farmers in Wuyuan, a county in east China's Jiangxi famed for its sea of rapeseed flowers growing in terraced fields, will welcome tourists into guest houses and restaurants, which have become their main source of income.
In neighboring Hunan Province, millions have been invested in planting rapeseed flowers at a local scenic spot in Zhangjiajie City. Foreign and domestic tourists, photographers and couples shooting wedding photos have swarmed the spot this month.
According to the provincial government, roughly 400,000 tourists made "flower trips" in the first quarter of the year, generating revenue of more than 100 million yuan.
A 53-hectare cherry blossom park will open in southwest China's Meishan City in Sichuan Province. The park will feature six km of river bank planted with cherry trees. Tens of thousands of flowering cherry trees of more than 20 varieties will be planted in the park over the next two years.
Peonies have a rich history and tradition in China. A month-long festival celebrating the flower will be held starting April 5 in central China's Luoyang, a city that has been growing peonies for more than 1,500 years.
"The iconic blossom, unlike the tulip in the Netherlands or lavender in Provence, is still little known to foreign visitors," said the organizer.
"China's flower tourism has huge potential, but it has to look beyond immediate gains and give due attention to the environmen.
