Patient's question:
I fell off my bike and injured my left knee. I hadn't noticed it before, and usually just applied Yunnan Baiyao. But recently, I've been feeling intermittent pain in my knee. I went to the hospital for an MRI, and the doctor said it's bursitis. So, how is bursitis treated?Doctor's answer:
You primarily suffer from periostitis caused by trauma, which leads to localized pain, swelling, and restricted motor function. Patients with this condition can, under the guidance of a doctor, use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and blood-activating medications for treatment. Additionally, treatments such as shortwave therapy and traditional Chinese medicine can help reduce pain and swelling symptoms. During this period, avoid weight-bearing exercises and intense activities, and pay attention to protecting your joints from cold.
