Question
How do I treat osteitis pubis? What kind of medication should I take? Do I need to get a shot? Can I still exercise if I have this condition? I use my arms heavily during training. The symptoms have been ongoing for over 20 days, starting with numbness in my arm, followed by pain, which is mainly severe at night. The pain has intensified in the last two days. What methods can help cure it?
Answer
Osteitis pubis, also known as tennis elbow, is an injury caused by the repetitive use of the muscles and tendons around the elbow. Occupations such as housewives, bricklayers, and carpenters are also prone to this disease due to their work characteristics. Symptoms include pain on the outer side of the elbow joint, radiating towards the outer side of the forearm, weakness in grip, and increased pain when turning screws or wringing towels. Treatment methods include rest, physical therapy, medication, and surgery, and appropriate treatment plans should be selected based on the patient’s specific condition.
