What should not be eaten with tendinitis?
Patients with tendinitis should be cautious with their diet, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods such as chili peppers and black pepper, as well as high-fat and high-calorie foods like fatty meats and barbecue. They should also avoid foods with a high sugar content, such as sweets that are rich in sugar. These types of foods are detrimental to overall health. Patients with tendinitis should appropriately supplement their diet with foods that are rich in high-quality protein and vitamins. These include milk, eggs, beans, chicken, fish, fresh vegetables, and fruits, all of which are beneficial for health.

How to treat rib fractures?
For the treatment of rib fractures, if it is a single or multiple closed fractures, and if there is no visceral damage and the fracture position is good, most non-surgical treatments can achieve good results; a chest bandage can be used for fixation and protective treatment. If there are multiple rib fractures accompanied by abnormal breathing, open fractures, or visceral injuries, surgical methods are primarily adopted. During the recovery period, rest is important. If there is pain, anti-inflammatory analgesics can be used to alleviate the pain. During recovery, it is encouraged to cough and expectorate to avoid complications such as lung infections or atelectasis. Additionally, dietary attention should be paid to enhance nutrition. Generally, rib fractures can effectively recover within 4 to 6 weeks. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)

Is a rib fracture serious?
Rib fractures are a relatively common type of fracture, mainly caused by direct or indirect violent injuries. The severity of a rib fracture depends on the specific condition. For example, a simple rib fracture usually achieves good results with conservative treatment. It can be treated by using a chest bandage for protection, resting, and gradually recuperating. If there are multiple rib fractures accompanied by thoracic deformity, abnormal breathing, and organ damage, this situation is relatively serious. Such fractures generally require surgical treatment. After the fracture, it is important to take good care of the patient, enhance nutrition in the diet, and start coughing up phlegm as soon as possible to prevent complications like lung infections. These measures help promote the recovery from the fracture.

How to recover from bone hyperplasia?
Bone hyperplasia is mainly caused by degenerative joint changes, trauma, chronic overuse, and other factors, leading to the destruction of cartilage and consequently causing a reactive proliferation of the cartilage. When bone hyperplasia is asymptomatic, it does not require treatment. However, when it causes irritation to surrounding tissues, symptoms such as pain and limited mobility may occur, and treatment is necessary. Treatment options include anti-inflammatory analgesics, drugs that nourish the cartilage, and other medical treatments. These can be combined with hot compresses, physical therapy, and joint injections. These methods can contribute to symptom improvement. When symptoms are more severe, conservative treatments are ineffective, and functional impairments occur, surgical methods may also be considered for treatment. (Please use medication under the guidance of a professional physician.)

Initial symptoms of bone hyperplasia
Bone hyperplasia in different parts of the body causes varying symptoms. Common sites for bone hyperplasia include the cervical spine, lumbar spine, and knee joints. Below, we primarily discuss the early symptoms of bone hyperplasia in the knee joint. In the initial stages, the onset of knee joint bone hyperplasia is relatively slow and may present symptoms of knee pain, characterized by persistent dull pain. Significant exacerbation of knee pain or accompanying numbness and popping sounds may occur during prolonged walking or strenuous activities. Additionally, the joint may show limitations in flexion and extension functions, with symptoms easing after rest. The pain is somewhat weather-dependent, worsening in cold or damp conditions and alleviating in a warm environment.

How to eradicate lumbar vertebral hyperostosis?
Lumbar hyperostosis is mainly caused by degenerative changes and chronic strain in the lumbar spine. There is no way to completely eliminate hyperostosis, but proactive treatment can effectively improve symptoms and even achieve clinical recovery. Treatment is not necessary when there are no symptoms of hyperostosis. However, when it stimulates nerves and causes symptoms like lower back and leg pain, and numbness or weakness, treatment is necessary. Treatment options include anti-inflammatory analgesics, cartilage-nourishing medications, and can also incorporate hot compresses, physiotherapy, and injections to effectively alleviate symptoms. When conservative treatments are ineffective and functional disabilities severely impact daily life, surgical options may be considered. (Please consult a doctor before using any medication and do not self-medicate.)

Can lumbar muscle strain be cured completely?
Whether lumbar muscle strain can be completely cured is related to the severity of the condition. Generally, patients with mild conditions should rest and may use anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications, or treatment methods such as hot compresses, physical therapy, and massage. Symptoms can be effectively relieved within a few days, and recovery is possible. For more severe cases, recovery may be slower if patients do not rest properly, and there could be recurrent episodes as well. Thus, patients with lumbar muscle strain should also pay attention to rest and recuperation routinely, develop correct habits for using the lower back, and reduce heavy physical activities involving the lower back. Additionally, it is important to stay warm and prevent exposure to cold. Patients can also use anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications, and drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis to facilitate recovery. Heat compresses and physical therapy can be used as well. These methods play an active role in improving symptoms and promoting recovery. (Note: The use of medications should be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

How to self-manage bone hyperplasia?
Patients with bone hyperplasia should pay attention to rest and reduce climbing activities to avoid aggravating joint damage. At the same time, it is important to appropriately increase calcium intake by consuming foods rich in calcium, such as dairy products, soy products, kelp, shrimp shells, and ribs. Additionally, it is crucial to get ample sunlight and avoid overly vigorous activities, opting instead for walking, swimming, and practicing Tai Chi. These activities can help strengthen the body, and when symptoms do appear, symptomatic medication treatment can be used. Other helpful treatments include appropriate heat application, physical therapy, and massage to alleviate symptoms. These methods can effectively improve symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. (Note: Use of medications should be under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

What should I do if I have body aches and a cold?
Patients with a cold may experience widespread body aches, as colds lead to the release of inflammatory mediators, which cause these aches. To treat this condition, one can first use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve the pain, while also treating the cold. If the patient has influenza, antiviral drugs can be used during the acute phase of the illness, followed by medications that improve symptoms, such as antihistamines. Additionally, if there is a bacterial infection, antibiotics can be utilized. It is also important to rest, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and maintain a light diet. Colds generally have a certain self-limiting nature, and most can effectively recover within one to two weeks. (Medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)

Osteoarthritis is divided into several types.
Osteoarthritis can be divided into two major categories based on the presence of local or systemic causative factors: primary osteoarthritis and secondary osteoarthritis. Primary osteoarthritis is mainly associated with factors such as age, obesity, occupation, and overuse. Secondary osteoarthritis can be seen in the following diseases: First, it is mechanical or anatomical abnormalities, such as abnormal joint development, acute and chronic joint injuries, etc. Second, it is severe joint diseases, such as septic arthritis, tuberculous arthritis, etc. Third, it involves metabolic abnormalities, such as gouty arthritis. Fourth, it involves endocrine abnormalities, such as acromegaly, hyperparathyroidism, etc., all of which can trigger osteoarthritic changes to some extent.
