What are the symptoms of periostitis?

Patient's question:

My best friend has always been enduring exercise, and her physical condition has also been very good. However, recently she has been feeling joint pain without any external injury. She started to pay little attention to it, but after a few days, the pain still persisted. She took many medications, but it didn't improve. Her colleague said it might be bursitis. What are the symptoms of bursitis?

Doctor's answer:

The most common factor is the recurrent inflammation of the periosteum of the tibia, caused by excessive traction on the muscles on the tibia. Inflammation of the tendons adhering to the surface of the tibia; calf pain; sometimes swelling; impact on the tibia; pain in the calf tibia when flexing the toes and ankle. It is recommended to go to a local regular hospital for timely diagnosis and confirmation; timely and effective comprehensive evaluation and treatment; timely functional exercise and daily health care.
