Question
How can wrist periostitis be effectively treated?
Answer
The patient has developed wrist periostitis due to long-term engagement in manual labor, leading to damage to the wrist periosteum. This condition results in swelling and pain in the wrist, affecting hand movement. It is recommended that the patient take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers, undergo acupuncture treatment, and use a bandage to immobilize the wrist to reduce activity. Additionally, the patient should take precautions to keep the wrist warm.
