What are some effective methods for treating knee joint synovitis?
Disease description:
I've been feeling knee pain lately, so I went to see a doctor. The diagnosis was synovitis of the knee joint. What are some effective treatments for knee joint synovitis?
For knee synovitis, it is important to rest adequately and keep the joint warm, avoiding strenuous activities. Oral anti-inflammatory, analgesic, blood circulation-promoting, swelling-reducing, and pain-relieving medications can be used to enhance treatment effectiveness. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may help reduce symptoms such as swelling and pain. Topical anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents, such as flurbiprofen plaster, or intra-articular injections can improve symptoms including knee pain and limited joint flexion and extension.
