Patient's question:
Brother-in-law is in his 40s with swelling in the left knee joint. It has been diagnosed as periostitis. The doctor said there is no cure for it, but surgery can be used to reduce the pain. Seeing that some people have had poor results from surgery, he is reluctant to have the surgery himself and is seeking medical treatment methods other than surgery.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to adopt topical medication treatment. Internally, traditional Chinese medicine ointments such as Huoxue Shujin Gao can be used for soothing muscles, promoting blood circulation, reducing swelling and pain, dispelling blood stasis, and alleviating wind and cold. When taken internally, the ointment has strong local penetration, allowing drug molecules to be absorbed through the skin and enter the bloodstream, directly reaching the affected area. Through the skin, it transmits to meridians, tendons, and bones, stimulating the body's adjustment functions, enhancing comprehensive functional recovery, and achieving the goal of surpassing rapid self-healing.
