Patient's question:
Recently, I felt extremely unwell and constantly experienced joint pain. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I had bursitis. I wanted to consult about which medication is effective for bursitis. Now, I am really very anxious, fearing that I might have an incurable disease.Doctor's answer:
Hello, patients with synovitis are generally treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or traditional Chinese medicine that promotes blood circulation and reduces inflammation. Both have good therapeutic effects. In addition to medication, it is best to combine physical therapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatments to achieve a comprehensive evaluation for better treatment outcomes. For example, therapies such as physiotherapy, massage, acupuncture, cupping, and cold compresses can help promote the absorption of inflammation more quickly. Local closed-loop therapy can also be performed, typically using a combination of corticosteroids and lidocaine for local anesthesia.
