How to treat osteoarthritis

summary

I accidentally touched my knee two days ago. It was blue on the other side of my knee. There was no treatment. Later, my knee joint was very painful, and I felt stiff every morning. When I went up and down the stairs, the joint pain would aggravate, and when I was loading, the doctor diagnosed osteoarthritis. Today, let me talk about how to treat osteoarthritis.

How to treat osteoarthritis

Drug 1: colchicine is the most commonly used drug. In addition, butazone or indomethacin can be used. Carboxybenzenesulfonamide can also be used to treat the continuous rise of serum uric acid by inhibiting the reabsorption of urate in renal tubules, which is one of the effective therapeutic drugs.

Drug 2: local treatment includes topical NSAIDs and intra-articular injection. Glucocorticoid can relieve pain and reduce exudation, and the effect can last for weeks to months, but it is only suitable for intra-articular injection. It should not be injected repeatedly in the same joint, and the injection times should be less than 4 times in a year.

Drug 3: the main treatment of osteoarthritis is non drug treatment. The first choice is to implement the correct way of life and health care. Mastering the relevant health knowledge has a good effect on reducing pain, reducing the number of visits, improving the quality of life and maintaining joint function.

matters needing attention

Osteoarthritis, a chronic disease, can only be treated to relieve pain. Special attention should be paid to avoid mechanical injury of joints and minimize the weight-bearing and wear of joints. Physical massage can help to enhance the muscle strength of patients and improve the blood flow range of joints.
