Patient's question:
As people get older, they experience pain in all parts of their body. For years, I've been feeling foot pain and thought it was rheumatoid arthritis, so I bought rheumatoid patches. But they had no effect at all; the more I used them, the more painful it became. My sons took me to the hospital for an X-ray, and the result was avascular necrosis of the talus bone. Hearing this news scared us to death. How should avascular necrosis of the talus bone be treated?Doctor's answer:
If osteonecrosis reoccurs, specific treatment options need to be chosen based on the individual situation. If the condition is severe, surgical removal of the infected bone is generally required. For more severe pain, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to promote blood circulation. After surgical treatment, bed rest should be the primary focus, with appropriate exercises performed while in bed. It is also recommended to consume more protein-rich foods during daily life.
