"i fell in love with fishing after retirement. i thought it was a leisure and health-preserving sport, but i didn't expect it would cause such big problems for my body!" said grandpa cao, who had undergone surgery in the orthopedics department 3 of the second affiliated hospital of hunan university of chinese medicine recently.
uncle cao is over 60 years old. after retiring from his job, he fell in love with fishing. he goes out early and comes back late every day, casting and reeling in his rod, and often sits by the river for most of the day. about a year ago, uncle cao felt a dull pain in his right shoulder, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. he just occasionally applied a plaster or hot compress on his right shoulder to relieve the pain.
until a few months ago, the pain in uncle cao's right shoulder became more and more severe, and he could not even lift his right arm normally. not only could he no longer fish, but his daily life was also greatly affected. after trying various conservative treatments in many clinics and hospitals, uncle cao's condition did not improve significantly. in early september, uncle cao went to the department of orthopedics iii (department of joint bone diseases) of the second affiliated hospital of hunan university of chinese medicine for treatment.
after receiving the patient, lin shaoru, the attending physician of the hospital's department of orthopedics 3, examined and took x-rays of mr. cao and found that the patient had severe rotator cuff injury and that conservative treatment was not effective. mr. cao himself had a strong desire for surgery. after a comprehensive examination and in-depth discussion by a team of orthopedic experts, it was decided to perform a reverse shoulder replacement surgery on mr. cao.
on september 6, the hospital successfully performed a reverse shoulder replacement surgery on mr. cao. after the surgery, the patient's vital signs were stable and his recovery was good. in order to help mr. cao adapt to the new shoulder joint as soon as possible, the department's nursing team provided him with meticulous postoperative care and guided him to do appropriate rehabilitation exercises. mr. cao was very satisfied with the results of the surgery.
dong kefang, director of the hospital's third department of orthopedics and chief physician, said that reverse shoulder replacement surgery, also known as reverse shoulder arthroplasty, is a surgical method used to treat severe shoulder joint diseases. this surgery is usually suitable for arthritis, joint injuries, joint deformities or other conditions that severely limit the function of the shoulder joint. during the operation, the doctor will remove the damaged joint surface and replace it with an artificial joint (prosthesis) to restore the normal function of the joint and relieve pain.
many people think that fishing is a sport that helps one cultivate one's moral character, but in fact, in certain circumstances, fishing is not a small amount of exercise. facing the health risks that may arise among "fishermen", dong kefang reminded that frequent fishing will cause frequent elbow movements, which may lead to local muscle strain, and then cause inflammatory reactions at the tendon and bone attachment points, manifesting as arm joint pain. in addition, improper posture or technique may increase the burden on the joints and further worsen the symptoms.
therefore, fishing must be done in moderation to avoid fatigue fishing and long-term mechanical fishing, especially now that many young people like to fly-knock and fly-scoop. this kind of repeated mechanical operation using extremely hard rods can easily cause damage to the body.
in addition, fishing outdoors for a long time regardless of the season can easily lead to colds, and because of the high humidity near the water, it is easy to cause arthritis and damage the body. therefore, you need to pay attention to sun protection when fishing in summer, and pay attention to keeping warm and adding clothes when fishing in cold seasons and at night;
in daily life, you should avoid repeating an action for a long time, pay attention to rest, exercise properly, and strengthen muscle strength training to help reduce the occurrence of discomfort.
