Patient's question:
Patient Age: I am a tennis player who recently took the final exam this year, and I've been experiencing some pain in the inner part of my calf bone and muscles. It seems like periostitis? What should I do? How should I adjust my diet? How about massage? Should I take medicine? Or use some topical ointment? What are the quick ways to get better? I'm about to take the physical test. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Recurrent periosteitis of the calf primarily refers to the calf muscles being in a prolonged state of tension. Since the muscles adhere to the periosteum, repeated and repetitive pulling of the periosteum by the muscles can lead to minor tears in the periosteum. Local blood vessel expansion, congestion, and edema then cause periosteitis. It is recommended to take oral medication to relax the muscles, promote blood circulation, reduce swelling and pain, disperse blood stasis, expel wind and dispel cold. Through skin transmission to the meridians, tendons, and bones, it can stimulate the body's adjustment functions, rapidly and thoroughly eliminate swelling and pain, improve blood flow, and restore function completely. If there are any unclear points, feel free to consult at any time. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
