Question
Last evening, I experienced a sudden pain in my elbow joint, and by night, the pain had spread to the entire forearm. The pain is intermittent and accompanied by a tingling sensation. After a medical examination, I was diagnosed with osteomylitis and inquired about the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
Answer
Osteomylitis is caused by regional aseptic inflammation, edema, and obstructed regional decomposition metabolism. The main symptoms include joint swelling and pain. Early diagnosis is essential to rule out other possible factors and to undergo examinations to avoid delaying treatment. Some patients may miss the best treatment opportunity if they are treated without a correct diagnosis.
