Patient's question:
Started experiencing heel pain 40 days after giving birth, pain when standing on feet, especially severe pain when walking.Doctor's answer:
The conventional treatment for rheumatism typically involves the use of immunosuppressive agents. These medications can effectively control the condition, such as Pafulin, Leflunomide, and Methotrexate. This class of drugs usually requires a prolonged treatment duration. For your situation, if you have joint pain and swelling, this can be treated with oral medications combined with topical treatments like red flower oil, Voltaren gel, capsaicin cream, and plasters. Alternatively, this condition can also be treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), such as the herbal remedy Zushima tablets.
