Patient's question:
I recently feel severe joint swelling, accompanied by a sense of inflammation from the bones, which is particularly painful. Sometimes there is also a sense of pain, which brings great inconvenience to my life. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said this is periostitis. How can periostitis be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
It could be caused by trauma, exposure to cold, or prolonged chronic overuse, leading to periostitis. Due to the inflammatory response, it may cause joint pain, swelling, difficulty in movement, and interfere with normal living. For your condition, corticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for treatment. Shortwave therapy, low-to-mid frequency therapy, magnetic pulse therapy, and herbal steam therapy can help alleviate symptoms. Pay attention to your dietary habits.
