Question
What should I pay attention to in the diet for osteomylitis? Do I need to take Shuzhecong in conjunction with it? I just had a detailed check-up at the hospital, and the previous treatment situation and effects were: none. What should I do now? I’m very worried and sad that I can’t move anymore.
Answer
Osteomylitis is a degenerative condition of the periosteum or an infectious condition caused by bacterial invasion, characterized by the expansion, congestion, swelling, or subperiosteal hemorrhage of periosteal blood vessels, as well as the organization of blood clots, periosteal hyperplasia, and inflammatory changes. Symptoms include regional swelling, pain, ecchymosis, and limited joint movement. The blood clots in the periosteal area swell, causing blockages in meridians and collaterals, leading to stagnation of Qi and blood. Traditional Chinese medicine ointments and internal medicine can be used to relax tendons and meridians, reduce swelling and pain, activate blood circulation, and dissipate stasis to expel wind and cold.
