Beat Knee
Beat hand and beat elbow is acute
inflammation of the tissues under the skin
of the part affected. Beat knee results from
constant kneeling in thin seams, beat hand
results from using rough-handled tools, beat
elbow results from pressure on the joint
caused by crawling in very thin seams or
from holing. The symptoms are pain,
swelling, stiffness of the parts affected,
probably followed by suppuration. Preventive
measures include the use of pads for the
knees and elbows, and the application of
iodine to cuts and abrasions.
