Osteoarthritis is a chronic joint disease mainly characterized by degeneration of articular cartilage and secondary osteophytes, which mostly occurs in joints with heavy loads and many activities, such as knee joints and hip joints. The treatments for osteoarthritis can be divided into general treatments, medication and surgical treatments. 1. General treatment: you can exercise appropriately, control your weight, avoid going up and down stairs, hiking and other sports, and apply hot compresses around the painful joints to accelerate blood circulation and reduce inflammatory reactions. 2. Medication: Sodium vitrate can be injected into the joint cavity to lubricate the joints, and chondroprotective agents, such as bisacodyl Rhein, can be used to nourish the cartilage. If the pain in the joint is obvious, you can take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as diclofenac sodium extended-release tablets to reduce inflammation and pain. 3. Surgery: In the advanced stage of osteoarthritis, the joint cartilage is severely damaged and osteophytes are obvious, which seriously affects the normal activities of the joints, and can be treated by surgery, such as artificial joint replacement. If symptoms such as joint pain, swelling and fatigue persist without relief, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, complete relevant examinations and follow the doctor’s instructions.
