Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. I was wondering what to do about the swelling in my left knee joint and muscle atrophy in my thigh.Doctor's answer:
You may primarily have inflammation in the left knee joint, which has led to swelling and pain in the left knee. It is also possible that the femoral head necrosis is relatively severe, so if there is muscle atrophy in the thigh, it is best to go to the hospital to take an X-ray of the knee joint and a CT scan of the hip joint for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis. For knee arthritis, acupuncture and physical therapy can be done. If the femoral head necrosis is severe, surgery may be required.
