Question
I was hit by a car, and my left ankle landed on the ground as my body pressed down on it. I went to the hospital for a detailed examination and was told it was a ligament injury. Now I have knee pain, and an MRI was done. The doctor said there was fluid inside and a bit of osteitis. I want to ask if osteitis is easy to treat?
Answer
A detailed MRI revealed that there is osteitis present. It is necessary to pay attention to bed rest, and in most cases, symptomatic treatment is adopted based on the condition. Generally, anti-inflammatory treatment is required, using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In severe cases, corticosteroids may need to be used for correction. It is important to ensure bed rest, avoid weight-bearing activities, avoid vigorous exercise, and not consume spicy or irritating foods. Symptomatic treatment should be administered.
