Question
Recently, I have been experiencing joint pain and have been diagnosed with synovitis. I would like to know which drugs are more effective for treatment.
Answer
Patients with synovitis symptoms typically use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment, or opt for Chinese herbal medicine that is effective in relieving inflammation. In addition to drug therapy, it is recommended to combine physical therapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as massage, acupuncture, cupping, and cold compresses. These comprehensive therapies can enhance the absorption of inflammation. Sometimes, regional closed therapy combined with corticosteroids and lidocaine can effectively alleviate symptoms.
