Question
Am I suffering from periostitis? I feel like my lower leg isn’t mine anymore, and it’s particularly painful, especially around the knee joint. It feels inflamed and particularly painful when exposed to cool water. Do you think I have periostitis? Thank you very much.
Answer
If you have osteomylitis, it’s common to experience recurrent regional redness, swelling, and pain. There may also be multiple occurrences of purulent discharge, which could severely affect joint movement. At this point, it’s important to promptly go to the hospital for a detailed MRI scan. If surgery is recommended, it can be treated surgically or with acupuncture. Combining this with the intake of anti-inflammatory and blood circulation medications can enhance the effectiveness of treatment.
