How to treat arthritic bone spurs in the knee

Knee arthritis bone spurs are mainly treated by comprehensive treatment, including limiting activities, weight reduction, physical therapy, medication, surgery and other treatments. 1. Restriction of activities: the formation of knee arthritis bone spurs is mainly due to long-term heavy physical labor, degenerative lesions in elderly patients, and a large number of sports, which lead to wear and tear of the joints, bone hyperplasia, and the formation of bone spurs. Limiting its movement can reduce the wear and tear of cartilage and alleviate the symptoms of pain. 2. Weight reduction: after weight reduction, the patient’s knee joints will bear less weight to avoid excessive localized weight bearing, which will cause further irritation. 3. Physical therapy: local physical therapy such as hot compresses and infrared rays can eliminate inflammation and relieve pain. 4. Drugs: Oral drugs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and some bone-enhancing drugs can reduce the patient’s pain, such as ibuprofen, but can not completely eliminate bone spurs. In addition, local topical application of blood circulation and pain relief cream or ointment can promote the relief of symptoms. 5. Surgery: When the patient’s pain is severe and seriously affects daily life and study, surgery can be considered. The treatment of knee arthritis bone spurs varies from person to person, and should be standardized under the guidance of the doctor, not unauthorized use of medication, so as not to cause adverse consequences.
