Question
My friend has always been committed to exercising and has maintained good health, but recently she started feeling joint pain and there were no trauma. Initially, she didn’t pay much attention, but after a few days, the pain did not subside. She took a lot of medicine but it didn’t get better. A colleague mentioned it might be osteitis. What are the symptoms of osteitis?
Answer
The cause of osteitis is inflammation of the periosteum of the fibula, which may be due to excessive tension on the muscles overlying the fibula. Symptoms include inflammation of tendons adhering to the surface of the fibula, pain in the lower leg, occasional swelling, pain when the fibula is struck, and pain in the lower leg tibia when bending the toes and ankle joint. It is recommended that you go to a local regular hospital for timely diagnosis and receive effective comprehensive evaluation and treatment, while also doing well in functional exercises and daily health care.
