In case of sternoclavicular osteoarthritis, if pain, swelling and discomfort occur, you can take two weeks off work and avoid strenuous activities at the sternoclavicular joint and the strain on the sternoclavicular joint caused by frequent use of the shoulder joint. In addition, you can apply golden ointment externally, or take bone injury recovery pills or Mai Zhi Ling orally to promote the local inflammation to subside. If the sternoclavicular arthritis persists badly and reaches 6-8 weeks, it can be treated by local injection, usually one injection every other week, and 3-5 injections can basically heal. If sternoclavicular arthritis causes a lot of trouble, we must go to the hospital to find a doctor for us to determine and then do symptomatic treatment, so as not to delay the disease because of swelling and other reasons.
