Patient's question:
Hit by a car, my left ankle hit the ground, and my body pressed down. The hospital's thorough examination only said it was a ligament injury, but now my knee hurts. An MRI was done, and the doctor said there is fluid accumulation and some periostitis. I want to ask if periostitis is treatable?Doctor's answer:
Through magnetic resonance imaging, it is important to carefully examine the organic tissue. If there is a bursitis, bed rest must be paid attention to. In most cases, symptomatic treatment is adopted according to the condition. Generally, anti-inflammatory treatment is required, using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. At the same time, if the condition is severe, corticosteroids may need to be used to correct it. It is essential to pay attention to bed rest, avoid weight-bearing, and avoid strenuous exercise. Spicy and irritating foods should not be eaten, and symptomatic treatment must be carried out.
