When joint pain occurs while running, there is no quick recovery method, and braking and resting, medication, and surgery are needed for relief.
Possible causes of joint pain while running are joint injuries, muscle strains, arthritis, etc. Treatment needs to be chosen based on the specific cause of joint pain. Conventional treatment includes:
1. Braking and resting: localized swelling and pain in the joints after exercise may be related to muscle strains, minor joint injuries, etc. At this time, braking and resting should be applied, and local cold compresses can be applied within 48 hours after the injury for about 15 minutes each time, while joint brakes are applied to enable the muscles and joints to recover slowly.
2. Drug treatment: joint pain and swelling after exercise, in addition to the necessary rest, can also follow the doctor’s instructions to take anti-inflammatory analgesic drugs such as aspirin and other pain relief.
3. Surgical treatment: When the degree of joint damage is more serious, including tendon and ligament rupture, then surgical treatment is needed.
When patients run with joint pain, it is recommended to go to the orthopedic department of the hospital in time for consultation and treatment under the guidance of the doctor to treat the cause.
