Patient's question:
A child around 5 years old has recently been frequently complaining of leg pain, and I wonder how to determine if it might be periostitis?Doctor's answer:
According to your condition, it is absolutely not bursitis. Bursitis usually occurs again in the areas of joint movement and would not cause systemic pain symptoms. Moreover, even if you have an X-ray or CT scan, bursitis cannot be diagnosed. It is generally determined based on your symptoms, in addition to the doctor's diagnostic skills, to infer how you developed bursitis.You are likely experiencing whole-body aches and pains due to sub-health. I recommend you visit the acupuncture department to see a doctor who can use professional massage techniques to provide a full-body muscle relaxation treatment. This can help relieve your muscle fatigue and soreness. In daily life, try to avoid overexertion, take naps earlier, avoid overtime work, quit smoking and drinking, and develop good lifestyle habits.
