Patient's question:
My father works in the fields in the countryside, and his hands are naturally large. Recently, he said his finger joints have been getting bigger and bigger, and when he touches them, they feel hard. He came to me asking what was wrong. At first, I thought he was joking and told him that it's common for farmers to have this. But later, he said the swollen area was becoming more painful, and now he can't even pick up a hoe or tools to work. That's when I realized something was wrong. We took him to a nearby hospital, and the doctor said it might be osteoarthritis. Please reply to the title with the doctor's response.What kind of help I care about: How is osteoarthritis treated?
Doctor's answer:
The human body has osteoblasts and osteoclasts. As long as these two types of cells maintain a dynamic balance, they will never cause osteoarthritis. If the kidneys are unhealthy, it can lead to more osteoclasts than osteoblasts, causing dissolved bone tissue to accumulate in the body's tendons, resulting in osteoarthritis.It is recommended to take 3 bottles of Liuwei Dihuang Wan and 3 bottles of Jianpi Wan per month, along with a sufficient amount of crushed white mustard seeds. Follow this for 21 days, and for the remaining 9 days, take Xiaohuofan Wan and Fu Ling Yi Xue Gao. This may help make osteoblasts outnumber osteoclasts, and the osteoarthritis may gradually improve. After taking it for a year, you can see how it goes.
