Knee osteoarthritis, what medicine should be used?
#天宇健康新年行 #
Knee pain, osteoarthritis, everyone wants to find a "special medicine", eager to "medicine to get rid of the disease". As a result, many fan families will ask Dr. Xu which medicine to use.
Let me first list the common 4 types of drugs, and then talk about the principles of use. Everyone must see the end, very practical.
The first category: drugs that nourish cartilage
For example, chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine, etc., they can delay the progression of the disease.
The second category: joint injection drugs
For example, sodium hyaluronate, hyaluronidase, etc., can play a role in lubricating joints, and at the same time have a certain pain relief effect.
The third category: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
It has an anti-inflammatory analgesic and eliminates inflammatory edema. Both topical and oral.
The fourth category: anti-inflammatory drugs for injection
For example, closed needles can be effective in analgesia.
Usually, in the early stages of knee arthritis, a drug that nourishes cartilage can be used. Once the pain begins to persist and become apparent, classes 2, 3, and 4 are often used sequentially.
When all conservative treatments are used and still painful, knee replacement needs to be considered.
【Knee joint "three points and seven points", daily life must pay attention to these details]
Osteoarthritis of the knee is a degenerative lesion. In addition to the use of drugs, special attention must be paid to reducing knee load.
Be sure to climb less mountains, climb less stairs, and squat less for protection. Usually, you also need to pay attention to the warmth of the knee joint and pay attention to the muscle exercise around the knee joint.
