The best treatment for synovitis with fluid accumulation mainly involves bed rest for about two to three days. Generally, patients with mild synovitis should rest until the pain in the lower back and legs subsides. During rest, it is essential to avoid physical labor and take appropriate oral anti-inflammatory medications. Commonly used drugs include ibuprofen sustained-release capsules. Western medical treatments for knee synovitis primarily include oral medications, intra-articular injections, joint lavage, and surgery. In daily life, patients should ensure adequate rest and avoid excessive exercise.
