The fastest way to recover from patellofemoral arthritis

There is no fastest way to recover from patellofemoral arthritis, but the patient’s symptoms can be relieved through general treatment, medication, physical therapy or surgery. 1. General treatment: patients should pay attention to avoid aggravating the load on the knee joint area, avoid long time running and jumping, pay attention to the warmth of the knee joint area and avoid catching cold. 2. Medication: Oral diclofenac sodium, ibuprofen, celecoxib and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can help to relieve the local pain; glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and other chondroprotective agents can also be used to protect the cartilage and delay cartilage lesions. 3. Physical therapy: transcutaneous electrical stimulation, heat therapy, hydrotherapy, massage, etc. can increase the local blood circulation in the knee joint and reduce the inflammatory reaction, thus relieving the patient’s symptoms. 4. Surgical treatment: patients with patellofemoral arthritis causing joint deformity and serious dysfunction should undergo surgical treatment, including arthroplasty. Patellofemoral arthritis patients should go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor for formal treatment.
