Patient's question:
I work in the electronics industry, and my fingers get sore. The doctor said it's bursitis, but even after the needle knife treatment, I still feel pain. Doctor, how can I reduce the pain in my fingers?Doctor's answer:
Periostitis, which we usually refer to as the inflammation of the membrane attached to the bone, is a condition that can lead to bone necrosis, inflammation, or even osteomyelitis if the inflammation is severe. Personally, I recommend that for the treatment of periostitis, if there is no pus formation and the condition is mild, acupuncture and physiotherapy can be considered. Oral administration of Celebrex and glucosamine capsules may also be helpful. If the inflammation leads to pus formation, it may be necessary to perform incision and drainage, followed by treatment with a sensitive antibiotic.
