Degenerative osteoarthritis is not self-healing and joint degeneration becomes more severe with age. As we age, the wear and tear on the joints becomes more pronounced and the joints gradually degenerate, resulting in degenerative osteoarthritis, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. Degenerative osteoarthritis is a normal physiological phenomenon. The older you get, the more pronounced the degeneration becomes, and it is an irreversible process that cannot heal itself. Degeneration of the joints can cause discomfort such as soreness and pain, which can be slowed down by intervention. For example, we can take proper rest, avoid overloading the joints, pay attention to warmth, avoid cold joints, and accelerate blood circulation through hot compresses and massages to promote joint repair. You can also take oral medication to slow down the degeneration of joints, such as oral glucosamine sulfate to promote the repair of articular cartilage, and for large joints such as the knee joint, you can also inject sodium vitrate. If symptoms of degenerative arthritis appear, it is recommended that patients go to the hospital for medical examination to clarify the cause of the disease and receive regular treatment.
