Patient's question:
I saw a man using a cane in the community yesterday and he almost bumped into me. After chatting for a few minutes, I learned that he had bursitis in his heel and was already being treated. I wanted to know if bursitis in the heel can be cured?Doctor's answer:
Periostitis tends to recur frequently, often manifesting as swelling, pain, and tenderness again. Periostitis is primarily caused by prolonged high-intensity exercise, where bones repeatedly endure external forces, or it may also be infectious. You can choose to revisit the orthopedics department of a local hospital for follow-up. In terms of treatment, rest and pain relief should be the foundation, and local anesthetic corticosteroids can be used for treatment.
