Is it true that the more bone spurs are worn, the better? The common name for “osteophytes” is generally called “bone spurs”, which should not be considered a disease, but a change in the body’s adaptability, a physiological compensatory change, that is, the physiological phenomenon of aging. A. Are bone spurs better the more you grind them A: Of course not. Some people think that the more they wear their bone spurs, the better they get, and the more they wear their joints, the less they hurt. Therefore, some elderly people hope to wear out their bone spurs by climbing mountains, going up and down steps, walking and running for long hours. As a result, the spurs are not worn away, but the remaining good cartilage and normal bones are also worn away, which aggravates the clinical symptoms and causes a lot of trouble for the future joint surgery. Second, what kind of people are prone to bone spurs? A: People who are aging. The degeneration of various organs and tissues in the body occurs at a certain age, and bone tissue is no exception; therefore, degeneration is the basis for the development of bone spurs. Together with congenital genetic factors, congenital abnormalities in joint structure; acquired unevenness of joint surfaces, injury or mechanical wear and tear, etc., make the degree of bone proliferation different for each person. Third, osteoarthrosis has those symptoms A: first pain, then pain, then paralysis The onset of the disease is slow, the beginning can be due to cold, exertion or minor trauma and feel the joint soreness or dull pain, and then gradually aggravated. If the joint is in a certain position for too long, temporary stiffness may appear and pain may occur when changing positions. Therefore, the patient often has pain in the morning after activity, and the pain is relieved after a period of activity, but the performance can be aggravated by excessive activity. If the spur is dislodged and forms a free body, the joint may become stuck. The interval between attacks is shortened year by year, and later the symptoms may become persistent.
