Patient's question:
Grandma's legs have been aching for several days. Her knee joints are swollen and extremely painful, making it impossible for her to walk. Later, after a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as bursitis. They suggested coming in for surgery. Considering her age, I asked about the treatment methods for bursitis.Doctor's answer:
Patients with periostitis can be treated with medication, or through cold therapy, acupuncture, physical therapy, etc. Cold therapy primarily has the effects of promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis. If the tympanitis is severe, surgical treatment may be necessary. Patients must be treated in a formal hospital orthopedics department. During this period, patients should consume more foods rich in calcium, such as tofu, eggs, etc.
