What are the treatments for rheumatic pain?

The treatment of rheumatic pain mainly includes drug therapy, physical therapy and surgical treatment.

1. Drug therapy

When the pain symptoms are severe, aspirin enteric-coated tablets, ibuprofen tablets and other drugs can be taken under the guidance of the doctor. Such drugs can reduce the local inflammatory reaction and relieve the pain symptoms by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandin in the body. When necessary, anti-rheumatic drugs such as methotrexate tablets and cyclophosphamide tablets can also be used in combination.

2. Physical therapy

commonly used methods include hot compress, massage, infrared radiation, etc. These treatments can dredge local meridians and accelerate the circulation of qi and blood, thereby alleviating pain.

3. Surgical treatment

If the drug therapy and physical therapy are not effective, or joint deformity occurs, it can be treated by orthopedic surgery, artificial joint replacement and other surgical methods under the guidance of the doctor to improve joint function.
