Can knee arthritis heal on its own Osteoarthritis treatment

If knee arthritis is osteoarthritis, it can not heal on its own, if it is ordinary arthritis, it may heal on its own, you need to go to the hospital for an examination to clarify the type of knee arthritis, if it is a degenerative disease of the knee joint, you can take glucosamine capsules**, with calcium carbonate D3 tablets**, if it is more serious, you need to do minimally invasive surgery**, you can recover after surgery, usually rest more, avoid overwork.

Knee osteoarthritis** is a stepwise approach based on the severity of knee osteoarthritis. For early, mild knee osteoarthritis will choose conservative**, through weight loss, pay attention to joint warmth, reduce the use of knee joints, as well as traditional medicine, such as cupping, hot compresses, physiotherapy, acupuncture, massage and other methods, can also achieve the best effect.

For patients with early arthritis who have hyperplasia around the joints, but there is no obvious narrowing of the joint space, and the symptoms are relatively severe, if the above methods do not work, external anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving ointments, plasters, oral anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs, and nutritional cartilage drugs can be added.

Further, if it is still not good, sodium hyaluronate can be injected into the joint cavity to relieve the inflammation and pain caused by cartilage wear and cartilage degeneration in the joint. If the conservative method is not able to solve the problem, the patient has developed to the middle or advanced stage, and can often be treated with surgical intervention, arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery, joint cleaning or severe to advanced stage can do unicompartmental joint replacement, or total knee replacement surgery to completely ** the disease.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that knee arthritis is caused by wind, cold and dampness, and filial piety **Knee arthritis is for the purpose of dispelling wind and cold, invigorating blood and removing stasis, and follows the principle of no pain in the general principles of traditional Chinese medicine, so the effect is very thorough. Pay attention to the cold and keep warm.

1. Conservative**: including drugs, massage, hyperthermia, etc. Most of the drugs are painkillers, which can be very effective in relieving pain, but these drugs have a great impact on the gastrointestinal tract. Methods such as massage are only pain relief.

2. Surgery**: Arthritis is anti-**disease, and the joint has been deformed, which is necessary to take surgery**. But if it hasn't reached that point, don't choose surgery**. Because the surgery is highly invasive and has many complications, it is not the best choice for patients.

3. Minimally invasive**: It can quickly reduce and relieve pain symptoms, delay joint destruction and restore joint mobility, prevent cartilage and bone destruction, and prevent deformity and disability. Compared with the first two methods, the effect is better. It can easily relieve the torment of illness.

Different types of knee arthritis have different effective methods. Usually knee arthritis is referred to as degenerative knee arthritis, which is non-infectious knee arthritis. Patients should limit knee movement, stop moving altogether if the pain is severe, or even immobilize the knee with a cast or brace.

If there is mild pain, the amount of motion in the knee should be reduced, which is one of the first very important methods of knee arthritis. In addition, oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics can also be used, including celecoxib, etoricoxib, ibuprofen extended-release tablets, loxoprofen sodium, erecoxib, meloxicam and other drugs. For degenerative arthritis, oral sulfuric acid or glucosamine hydrochloride can also be used, and if synovitis is present, patients can also take oral disacerein capsules, **synovitis caused by knee degenerative arthritis.

In the advanced stages of knee arthritis, if the joint space is narrowed and osteoarthritis is present, a lubricant such as sodium hyaluronate may be injected into the joint cavity to help relieve symptoms. For advanced knee osteoarthritis, if no way** is effective, artificial knee replacement surgery can also be used to completely solve it. For arthritis caused by bacterial infection, the most effective way to deal with this type of arthritis is to find a sensitive antibiotic against the bacteria, and to be hospitalized as soon as possible to fight the infection**, while limiting the movement of the knee joint.

If necessary, surgery should be done as soon as possible to remove pus from the joint cavity and perform inertial drainage of the joint cavity, so as to help the knee joint infectious arthritis as soon as possible**.
