Dr. Lin Yunfei
Patients with muscle and soft tissue injuries can undergo evaluation using the following methods:
1. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at a hospital.
2. Ultrasound examination.
If localized swelling is present, patients may, under physician guidance, appropriately use medications such as Diosmin tablets to reduce edema. For severe pain, analgesics such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules may be used per medical advice.
