Question
Do I need surgery for osteomylitis pain?
Answer
For the pain caused by osteomylitis, it is generally considered that surgery is not necessary. In such cases, it is recommended to rest, avoid catching a cold, reduce pressure on the affected area, take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics and blood circulation and blood stasis medications, and combine physical therapy. Additionally, you can apply invigorate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis (TCM) ointment externally and continue with daily cold compresses.
