Patient's question:
Recently, it might be due to weather fluctuations that the symptoms of swelling and pain in the leg joints have suddenly reappeared. The pain is so severe that it's almost impossible to stand, accompanied by general weakness, a lack of energy, and a poor appetite. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed it as periostitis.What kind of help is needed: What is the best treatment for periostitis?
Doctor's answer:
Synovitis is a specific manifestation of various different conditions such as mental trauma, bone hyperplasia, tuberculosis, joint degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, pigmented villonodular synovitis, surgery, etc., in terms of the synovial membrane. These diseases cause mechanical, biological, and chemical stimuli to the synovial membrane, leading to synovial (hemorrhage), edema, increased vascular permeability, excessive synovial fluid secretion, and increased digestion. As a result, clinical symptoms such as joint swelling, pain, and restricted movement may occur. If not treated in time, the synovial membrane of the joint will be chronically stimulated by inflammation, gradually thickening and becoming fibrotic, leading to adhesions and affecting normal joint movement.
