Joint degeneration is a degenerative change that cannot be cured, only relieved. Joint replacement can also be done when the symptoms are severe enough to affect your life.
Joint degeneration is a degenerative change in the knee joint, which is the main cause of joint degeneration in daily life. Therefore, normal treatments cannot reverse the process of joint degeneration, but can only alleviate it through treatment. If you want to treat joint degeneration completely, you can only have a joint replacement when the symptoms are severe enough to affect your life.
Conservative treatment can relieve the symptoms caused by joint degeneration, mainly through oral administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as celecoxib (for pain relief), limiting the movement of the joints, intra-articular injections of sodium vitrate, hormones and other ways. However, the use of drugs should be under the supervision of a doctor. If the symptoms are so severe that it affects your life and it is difficult to relieve the symptoms with conservative treatments, you can also undergo joint replacement surgery.
