Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 32 years old this year. Recently, I fell at home, but at that time nothing serious happened, just my wrist has been aching slightly, and I didn't pay much attention. However, recently my wrist has been getting more and more painful. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, it was found that my wrist had avascular necrosis of the lunate. Hello, is this disease difficult to treat?Doctor's answer:
If the lunate bone in the wrist reappears with ischemic necrosis, it will primarily cause frequent pain symptoms in the wrist. In severe cases, it may also lead to muscle atrophy. This condition is treatable. If treated early with rigorous therapy, it mainly involves using hot towels for cold compresses and massage, as well as acupuncture and physical therapy. In daily life, it is important to avoid exposure to cold air and drafts in the affected area, as well as preventing overexertion.
