Question
I have been experiencing calf pain while walking for two weeks. After examination, it was found to be periostitis and inflammatory disorders of the digestive system. How should I handle this?
Answer
Periostitis is a chronic damage to the periosteum, caused by the expansion, congestion, swelling, or subperiosteal hemorrhage of periosteal blood vessels, as well as the organization of blood clots, periosteal hyperplasia, and inflammatory changes. It can also be an infectious damage caused by purulent bacteria. It is recommended to use topical medication for treatment. These drugs have the characteristic of strong regional permeability, and after absorption through the skin into the blood circulation, they directly act on the affected area. They also pass through the skin to meridians and tendons, promoting the body’s regulatory function and accelerating recovery to achieve rapid healing.
