Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 24 years old this year. I would like to ask you, what causes periosteitis of the arm bone? Is it serious? Do I need surgery? I have been diagnosed with periosteitis of the arm, and my arm has been in pain for a while. I hope the doctor can give me some help. Thank youDoctor's answer:
Hello, periostitis is caused by the expansion, congestion, edema of periosteum and blood vessels, subperiosteal damage, hematoma formation, periosteal hyperplasia, and inflammatory changes leading to deforming periosteal injury, such as long-term arm rust caused by special work or special posture. Synovitis may recur over time. It is necessary to pay attention to correct posture, and at this time, anti-inflammatory and blood-activating treatment can be performed.
