Is it effective to take blood-activating and stasis-resolving medication for leg muscle pain?
Disease description:
After working continuously at a construction site for several weeks, I recently started experiencing pain in the tendons of my legs, particularly noticeable during the evenings and upon waking up in the morning. I am considering taking medications that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis to relieve the symptoms, and I would like to know whether such treatment is effective.

It is recommended that patients rest for a period of time and avoid overusing the leg muscles. Applying heat and performing gentle stretching exercises may also help relieve muscle tension and pain.
Prior to taking medications that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, patients are advised to consult a qualified physician to determine the exact cause of the pain. If the pain is caused by trauma or muscle strain, circulation-promoting and stasis-resolving medications may be used under the guidance of a doctor as an adjunct to treatment. In combination with rest, ice application, and appropriate stretching exercises, physical therapy can more effectively alleviate pain and promote recovery.
If the pain persists, it is best to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to determine the specific cause. The doctor may recommend physical therapy, appropriate pain-relieving medications, or other treatment methods.
