Patient's question:
I have always been in good health, but recently I've been experiencing joint pain without any trauma. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, but after a few days, the pain persisted. I took some medication, but it didn't help. My colleague mentioned it might be bursitis. I want to know the symptoms of bursitis and plan to visit the hospital for examination and treatment in a few days. What are the early symptoms of bursitis?What kind of help I need: What are the early symptoms of bursitis?
Doctor's answer:
Periostitis is caused by the expansion, congestion, edema, or subperiosteal hemorrhage of the periosteum and its blood vessels, leading to creeping periosteal damage due to the organization of blood clots, periosteal hyperplasia, and inflammatory changes, or by infectious periosteal damage caused by the rampant of purulent bacteria. Symptoms include local swelling, pain, bruises, limited limb movement, and blood clots swelling in the periosteum area, blockage of meridians, stagnation of qi and blood. Chinese herbal ointments can be taken internally to relax muscles, activate blood circulation, reduce swelling and pain, disperse blood stasis, and expel wind and cold. It is important to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, get a diagnosis, and then start treatment.
