At the same time, some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used orally or externally, that is, ibuprofen sustained-release tablets, or tramadol sustained-release tablets, etc., and at the same time, it is necessary to avoid strenuous exercise in the legs.

    Leg stiffness is generally associated with factors such as femoral head disease, knee disease, or leg trauma. There are many causes of leg stiffness, the most common causes include avascular necrosis of the femoral head, osteoarthritis of the knee, leg trauma, etc. The details are as follows:

    Avascular necrosis of the femoral head may lead to local joint stiffness and muscle atrophy, which can seriously affect the patient's quality of life. Knee osteoarthritis, especially in the advanced stages of arthritis, can cause joint stiffness and deformity and affect the patient's normal life or work. Leg trauma, leg fractures, meniscus injuries and dislocations, ligament injuries, etc.

    During the procedure, prolonged local protective immobilization is often required, which can also lead to joint stiffness and muscle atrophy. For the above patients, appropriate exercise is required at a later stage to restore normal joint mobility and muscle strength. In many cases, leg stiffness is due to venous valve insufficiency in the lower extremities, resulting in soreness, discomfort, and local edema in the subcutaneous tissues of the lower extremities.

    This condition can be confirmed by color Doppler ultrasound of the lower extremities. If the valve is insufficient, there is a partial regurgitation of blood from the foot back to the heart, causing the venous pressure to become too high, and fluid in the vein can seep into the tissue space, causing edema in the lower leg. If edema occurs repeatedly, it can lead to fibrosis and gradual hardening of the subcutaneous tissue.

    This condition can be alleviated by conservative** methods, such as the use of elastic medical stockings and oral medications such as Amiron or Mak Chi Ling. At the same time, we should also take care to avoid triggers such as prolonged standing, sedentary lifestyle, chronic cough, chronic constipation or obesity. If valvular insufficiency occurs only in superficial veins, it can also be completely surgically surged**.

    Patients are advised not to do strenuous exercise, to keep warm, and to avoid cold. You can also soak your feet in hot water, which is good for blood circulation.
