Localized stabbing pain caused by degenerative joint disease can be relieved by physical therapy, medication, and surgery.
Degenerative joint disease is a degenerative damage of joint cartilage caused by ageing and knee strain, which is more common in weight-bearing joints and joints with more activities, such as knee joints. Clinical manifestations include slowly developing joint pain, pressure and swelling.
1. Physiotherapy: For mild cases, patients can wear a brace to reduce the weight of the joints, and can also be appropriate for hot compresses, physiotherapy, or magnetic therapy and other physical methods to alleviate the local pain.
2. Medication: If the patient’s pain is more intense, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen extended-release capsules, celecoxib, etc., can be used to play an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. Sodium vitrate can also be injected into the joint cavity to lubricate the joints and protect the articular cartilage, thus eliminating the stinging sensation and relieving the condition.
3. Surgery: If the patient’s condition is serious, minimally invasive surgery can be performed with the assistance of arthroscopy. In severe cases, artificial joint replacement is required. Through surgical treatment, the condition can be effectively treated and relieved.
Therefore, it is recommended that patients who feel localized tingling due to degenerative joint lesions should consult a doctor in time and choose the appropriate treatment according to the doctor’s advice.
