When it comes to anti-inflammatory drugs, people tend to think of antibiotics, using antibiotics to control infection, but in fact, the anti-inflammatory drugs used in orthopedics also include a class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as diclofenac sodium, loxoprofen, isobutylpropionic acid, etc.; these drugs are usually understood as painkillers, but in fact this understanding is not comprehensive, these drugs are often used in the hip, knee, shoulder, elbow and other types of joint The so-called anti-inflammation is the elimination of various causes of inflammation of the synovial membrane in the joint area or inside, because the elimination of inflammation to achieve the effect of pain relief. When it comes to inflammation in the joints, it should be explained that the so-called joint lesions, including osteoarthritis of the knee, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc., can cause synovial inflammation and soft tissue inflammation in the joints, and this inflammation is not infection, but joint degeneration, cartilage degeneration, inflammatory factor stimulation of ankylosing spondylitis, etc., causing joint discomfort, synovial hyperplasia, etc.; this type of medicine is to control These drugs are used to control this type of inflammation and achieve the effect of pain relief. As an aside: regarding the difference between joint inflammation, degenerative inflammation, rheumatoid inflammation and septic arthritis; the first three categories are non-infectious taking non-steroidal drugs is effective, while the latter one is bacterial infectious and requires antibiotics, which leads to confusion about the understanding of arthritis, taking joint anti-inflammatory drugs is taking antibiotics… The origin of this confusion is that our Western medical nomenclature is This problem does not exist in the English language: for example, arthritis of the knee: Knee Arthritis; and infection of the knee is Knee Infection; the English language is two words, and the Chinese language is translated as arthritis; that is why it causes difficulties in the interpretation of doctors, and many definite words must be added to achieve. I think now we all understand that similar to osteoarthritis of the knee, taking anti-inflammatory drugs is not an antibiotic!!!
