In middle age or old age, some people develop “bone spurs” in the knee, ankle, hip, or cervical, lumbar, or foot joints. Pain occurs, especially when moving or bearing weight, and this results in osteoarthritis. Clinically, osteoarthritis is most common in the knee, foot and ankle, and cervical and lumbar spine, and causes pain, swelling, numbness, and other symptoms in different areas, even affecting work and life. However, not all joints with bone spurs are painful in clinical practice. The pathology of “bone spurs” is due to age, genetics, trauma, overweight, prolonged excessive walking and high intensity exercise, which leads to wear and tear of the hyaline cartilage of the joint. The cartilage becomes thinner, smoother, rougher, and even peels away, leaving the bones under the cartilage exposed. The exposed bones are innervated by nerves and blood vessels. As a result of frictional irritation, the joint becomes painful and movement is limited. In the cervical or lumbar spine, the compression stimulates the nerves and blood vessels, resulting in neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain or numbness. What can I do if I have a “bone spur”? If there is no pain and no obstruction to movement, it can be seen as a natural physiological degeneration, just as people grow gray hair and wrinkles when they get older. Bone spurs also grow when the bones get old or worn out. There is no need to worry too much about it or treat it with medication. However, it is important to pay attention to maintenance and proper exercise to slow down the growth of bone spurs. If a bone spur grows and forms osteoarthritis, with clinical manifestations such as pain, soreness, numbness, impaired movement or joint rattling when moving, it is necessary to seek medical treatment. At present, the western medicine commonly used in clinical practice is mainly glucosamine, etc., which is divided into two kinds of glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride. The main purpose is to stimulate chondrocytes, generate cartilage matrix, repair worn cartilage, and improve the cartilage’s own repair ability. Secondly, if the joint pain and the formation of joint effusion swelling, up and down stairs or squatting and standing up pain is obvious, the activity is limited. Sodium vitrate can be injected into the joint cavity; 1 injection each time, once a week. A course of 3-5 injections is required. While injecting sodium vitreous acid, the fluid in the joint is extracted. This allows for effective relief of wear and tear or impaired movement of the joint. Sodium vitrate plays a role in lubricating and nourishing the joints, promoting the production of synovial fluid, reducing the wear and tear of the joint surfaces, and delaying painful swelling and bone friction sounds. Thirdly, Chinese herbal medicine is used to treat osteoarthritis, which is considered by Chinese medicine to be in the category of “bone paralysis”. The kidney is the master of bones, and it stores essence and produces marrow. The marrow resides in the bones, and the bones are nourished by the marrow. Clinical practice has proven that kidney tonics can affect bone growth and repair. The treatment of osteoarthritis has good efficacy. Therefore, Chinese medicine treatment starts from tonifying the kidneys, and common herbal medicines include Epimedium, Boneset, Boneset, Eucommia, Niubizi, Radix et Rhizoma, Bacopa Monnieri, Dog’s Backbone, Fructus Lycii, Radix et Rhizoma, Astragalus, and Deer antler. In clinical practice, herbs can also be added to invigorate the blood and regulate the qi, soothe the tendons and open the ligaments. According to the patient’s symptoms of different diagnosis and treatment. It can play a good therapeutic effect. Fourth, the external application of ointment, Chinese physical therapy, acupuncture, massage, etc., to dredge the meridians, regulate the blood, dispel cold and relieve pain. Fifth, pay attention to weight control, work and rest, less climbing, less climbing, so that the joints in a timely and appropriate rest, reasonable exercise but not strenuous. Scientific calcium supplementation, light diet, etc. Through their own maintenance to make osteoarthritis timely and effective control and recovery.
