Dr. Lin Yunfei
Hip synovitis and bone marrow edema are generally not severe conditions. Patients should prioritize rest; immobilization may be necessary when required. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications may be prescribed by a physician. During treatment, strict bed rest is advised—physical activity should be avoided to prevent worsening of synovitis and bone marrow edema, which could complicate treatment. Diet should consist primarily of easily digestible foods.
