Patient's question:
My father not only has high blood pressure but also suffers from knee osteoarthritis, and he is currently in great pain. Hello, what should my father do?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension and osteophyte are both chronic diseases. First, medication should be used to stabilize blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood viscosity within the normal range. For osteophyte, topical ointments that relax muscles and promote blood circulation should be applied locally, or oral medications that unblock meridians and activate blood circulation should be taken for treatment. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral medications such as anti-bone fibrosis pills and bone spur tablets can be taken, or local cold compresses can be applied. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are also important.
