Patient's question:
A while ago, I made an appointment with classmates to go fishing by the lake. Everything was ready, but before we even started, I felt aches in my waist and legs, especially in my knees, which were like needle pricks, making it impossible to lift my calves. My friend said it might be arteritis. How is arteritis treated?Doctor's answer:
Arteritis is a chronic non-specific inflammatory disease, currently considered to be caused by bacterial invasion due to low immunity. In terms of treatment, it is recommended to base it on internal medicine treatment, such as anti-inflammatory treatment, hormone treatment, and autoimmune treatment, etc. When necessary, surgical methods can be integrated. However, specific treatment measures should be improved after careful examination and medication treatment should be based on the advice of the attending physician to prevent the delay of the cause. Daily attention should be paid to drinking water, eating light food, and avoiding staying up late and excessive fatigue.
