Question
How should I treat severe swelling and pain in my ankles before my menstrual period?
Answer
Avoid excessive consumption of white sugar, as consuming large amounts of sugar can lead to a rapid metabolism of glucose, producing intermediates such as pyruvate and lactic acid, which cause the body to enter a state of acidosis. This can cause a large mobilization of ions such as calcium, magnesium, and sodium to neutralize the acidity, which is not conducive to the recovery of fracture patients. At the same time, regional vasoconstriction leads to poor blood circulation, which is also unfavorable for fracture healing.
