Peng Zhang, Deputy Chief Physician, Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.
Hello everyone, sometimes the patient comes to see us, and in the end we just tell him to go home and rest. The patient was a little disappointed, after all, he spent a lot of money and waited for a long time, but he got such a very simple advice, and he didn't prescribe medicine or do anything to deal with it.
Orthopedic diseases are mostly related to sports problems, and some improper activities may lead to the occurrence of orthopedic diseases, so the disease should start from the source. In the early stage of some orthopedic diseases, as long as you pay attention to rest, pay attention to adjusting the amount of activity or adjust the way of activity, the disease can be cured, and it will not progress quickly.
For example, in the case of hand diseases, if the muscles and tendons of the fingers are overactive, it is easy to cause inflammation of the tendons or tendon sheaths. For example, for example, typing for a long time, grabbing a mobile phone or playing the piano for a long time, etc., these excessive hand movements may induce the occurrence of tenosynovitis.
In most cases it resolves on its own by reducing the movement of the joints and tendons in the hands in the early stages of the disease. For example, if you like to play badminton, table tennis or tennis, or often use a computer and mouse, one of the diseases you are prone to is lateral epicondylitis of the humerus, which is called tennis elbow.
In the early stage of tennis elbow, as long as these corresponding activities are reduced, the amount of activity is reduced, the time of activity is reduced, and the arm is fully rested, the pain and some corresponding symptoms will be quickly relieved.
There is also a type of disease, for example, young mothers often work hard with their children, and there are more activities such as housework and holding children, so they are prone to tenosynovitis of radial static process stenosis. As long as these weight-bearing activities are reduced during this initial episode, the symptoms can generally be gradually relieved by resting.
Therefore, rest is a very important way in the early stage of orthopedic diseases, it is not a simple rest, it is also a way, it can be said that it is a basic way. Even if you use other methods, you must also pay attention to rest, because it is a very effective way.
