The best treatment for chondromalacia patellae;
Under the guidance of doctors, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs are used to relieve joint swelling caused by patella softening, but often painkillers can only temporarily relieve pain.
External treatment is patella softening's main method. During the onset, patients can be treated with plaster, such as Yujitang Patella Shungu Anyu Plaster, which can effectively cure patella softening's symptoms and is the most impressive choice at present. However, patients should pay attention to the fact that large doses of anti-inflammatory drugs should not be used during the treatment to prevent side effects, and the treatment effect is counterproductive.
Chondromalacia patellae can also relieve swelling, maintain muscle strength, increase joint stability, maintain joint range of motion and promote the repair of chondromalacia patellae through professional rehabilitation training. However, rehabilitation training needs to be carried out under the guidance of professional rehabilitation teachers to avoid secondary injuries caused by wrong actions.
Surgical therapy
The condition of chondromalacia patellae is serious, but it has not improved after conservative treatment. Patients with severe pain and confirmed diagnosis may need surgery. The general situation is not particularly serious. It's best to pay attention to early treatment, and don't wait until the last to have an operation.
Matters needing attention in patella softening:
1. Grasp the amount of exercise and choose appropriate exercise methods, especially for some middle-aged and elderly people. The amount of exercise should not be too large and the exercise methods should not be too intense. Try to choose some safe and secure sports, such as walking and swimming.
2. It is very important to choose a pair of suitable shoes during exercise, which can protect our bodies and improve exercise efficiency.
3. Try to avoid moving on some hard (such as cement), slippery or too bumpy ground. If you have knee discomfort during exercise, you should immediately reduce the amount and frequency of exercise.
It is necessary to warm up fully before running or strength training. Effective warm-up can activate muscles around joints and prevent sports injuries caused by joint stiffness.
5. Knee pads should be worn during heavy or high-intensity exercise.
6. If you choose running as an exercise method, the running posture is very important and the posture must be correct. Remember to land on only one side of your foot.
7. After exercise, you can massage the leg muscles properly and apply them with a hot towel.
8. Do some stretching exercises after exercise.
