Periostitis is a creeping periosteal injury caused by the expansion, congestion, edema, or subperiosteal laceration of the periosteum and its blood vessels, leading to the organization of hematoma, periosteal hyperplasia, and inflammatory changes. It can also be an infectious periosteal injury caused by the rampant of purulent bacteria. Symptoms include local swelling, pain, bruising, and restricted limb movement. The periosteal area may develop blood clots and swelling, with blocked meridians and stagnant qi and blood. Chinese herbal ointments can be taken internally to relax muscles, activate blood circulation, reduce swelling and pain, disperse blood stasis, and expel wind and cold.
