Patient's question:
I am a tennis specialist, and recently I have been undergoing regular physical training because I need to take the tennis major exam. Prolonged intense exercise has caused severe pain in my calves. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it was tendinitis. How should this condition be treated?Doctor's answer:
Government civil servants are primarily affected by fatigue in the muscle and bone joints due to prolonged intense exercise. On a daily basis, many non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken in conjunction with physical therapy. Under normal circumstances, if control is good, there will be absolutely no aftereffects. However, if control is poor, it may lead to the exacerbation of periosteitis, and in severe cases, it could potentially affect future mobility.When periostitis reoccurs, it is essential to immediately stop intense exercise, pay close attention to rest, and frequently soak feet in hot water or apply cold compresses to the calf area. Each cold compress should last more than 30 minutes to enhance local blood circulation and reduce pain. In terms of diet, it is important to focus on digesting calcium and vitamins, and consume more foods rich in collagen.
