Osteomalacia cannot heal on its own, but there are many ways to relieve painful symptoms, such as oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, local physical therapy and symptomatic treatment, and in severe cases, joint replacement. Osteomalacia is a degenerative change of the skeletal system, and once it occurs, it will not heal on its own, and may worsen with age or long-term strain. After treatment, patients with osteophytes will generally have their pain symptoms relieved. If the hyperplasia is severe, conservative treatment is ineffective, and the joint is completely unusable, joint replacement may be an option. There are many ways to protect the joints. As long as the osteophytes are not particularly severe, they can generally be relieved by medication or physical therapy, which can eliminate edema or inflammation to some extent. Patients with osteophytes should pay attention to their diet, avoid stimulating foods, eat more vitamin-rich foods, and not drink alcohol to avoid aggravating their condition.
