Patient's question:
My uncle has been experiencing some lower back pain for over a year. A few days ago, while working, he accidentally strained his back. After a thorough examination, it was found that he has lumbar fasciitis. He is currently taking medication for treatment. I wonder if it is urgent? Is lumbar fasciitis serious? What should he pay attention to on a daily basis?Doctor's answer:
Periostitis is a creeping damage to the periosteum caused by the expansion, congestion, edema, or subperiosteal laceration of the periosteum and its blood vessels, leading to the organization of hematoma, hyperplasia of the periosteum, and inflammatory changes. It can also be an infectious damage to the periosteum caused by the rampant of purulent bacteria. It is recommended to adopt topical medication treatment. Internal administration of Shujin Huojin ointment, which promotes muscle and tendon health, reduces swelling and pain, activates blood circulation, and dispels wind and cold, is also effective. The ointment, when taken internally, has strong local penetration. The drug molecules are absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream and directly reach the affected area. Through the skin, the drug is transmitted to the meridians and tendons, muscles, and bones, stimulating the body's adjustment function to enhance comprehensive functional recovery beyond the goal of rapid self-healing.
