Patient's question:
Now my calf hurts when I walk. I went to the hospital for a check-up and found it was periosteitis of the calf bone and gastritis. The pain has lasted for two weeks. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Periostitis is caused by the expansion, congestion, edema, or subperiosteal hemorrhage of the periosteum and its blood vessels, leading to creeping periosteal damage due to the organization of hematomas, periosteal hyperplasia, and inflammatory changes, or by infectious periosteal damage caused by the rampant of purulent bacteria. It is recommended to adopt topical medication treatment. Internal administration of ointments that relax muscles, promote blood circulation, reduce swelling and pain, disperse blood stasis, and expel wind and cold is also effective. The topical ointment has strong local penetration, allowing drug molecules to be absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream and directly reach the affected area. Through the skin, the drug is transmitted to meridians and tendons, stimulating the body's adjustment functions, enhancing functional recovery, and achieving rapid self-healing.
