Patient's question:
How to treat periostitis of the red bone? What medicine should I take? Do I need to get injections? Can I still train with this condition? I use my arm when training. It has been more than 20 days since the onset of the disease. First, my arm went numb, then it started to hurt. It gets worse at night, and it has been very painful for the past two days. How can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Tennis elbow is lateral epicondylitis of the humerus. It is named because tennis players are prone to this condition, and its medical name is also lateral epicondylitis of the humerus. Housewives, bricklayers, carpenters, and others who repeatedly exert force on their elbows are also prone to this disease. Due to long-term overuse, many tendons and soft tissues attached to the elbow joint may experience partial fibrous tearing or damage again, or may cause periosteal trauma due to friction, leading to periostitis. The main symptoms are pain on the outside of the elbow joint, radiating to the outside of the forearm, weakness when gripping objects, and increasing local pain when tightening screws or squeezing towels.
