Dr. Lin Yunfei
This condition can recover within 3–4 weeks without special treatment; adequate rest is sufficient. During the initial period, movement will indeed be limited, so it's important to rest well throughout the recovery phase. Avoid moving around in bed, minimize standing and walking, and apply local heat, keep the area warm, and use knee supports as needed. Weight-bearing activities are strictly prohibited. Joint movement should also be restricted, and appropriate medication may be used to help relieve symptoms. Additionally, oral medications that support bone health, such as Xianling Gubao capsules, can be taken.
