What symptoms does periostitis cause?

Patient's question:

I have always been enduring the training, and my physical condition has also been very good. However, recently I feel joint pain, and I haven't suffered any external injuries. I started to pay little attention to it, but after a few days, it still hurts a lot. My colleague said it might be bursitis. Hello, what are the symptoms of bursitis?

Doctor's answer:

Periostitis refers to infectious damage of the periosteum caused by various reasons leading to the injury of the flexible periosteum or the rampant of purulent bacteria. Based on your description, the pain in the knee after exercise is more likely to be synovitis. Periostitis can cause joint swelling, pain, dysfunction, and muscle atrophy, with common causes being the recurrent inflammation of the periosteum of the tibia, which is often due to excessive traction on the muscles on the tibia. Inflammation of tendons adhering to the surface of the tibia; calf pain; sometimes swelling; impact on the tibia; when bending the toes and ankles, pain in the calf tibia is felt. It is recommended to go to the hospital for timely diagnosis and confirmation. Timely and effective comprehensive evaluation and treatment should be given, and attention should be paid to avoiding strenuous exercise, as well as preventing cold exposure in daily life.
