When facing this situation, it is necessary to understand its cause and then prescribe the right medicine. The following is a detailed introduction to what is going on with knee bulge?

It is considered to be caused by cysts, synovitis or bone tumors. From what you said, there is no way to judge the specific situation. It is better to have a face-to-face consultation in time to clarify. I suggest you go to the orthopedic department for a physical examination by a professional doctor. If necessary, you can do an MRI and other related examinations. After the clarification, you can treat it. If necessary, you need to consider surgical resection.

Treatment methods for synovitis: Drug treatment. Drugs for the treatment of synovitis are mainly divided into two categories: oral and topical. Topical medications are all anti-inflammatory drugs that can relieve symptoms by eliminating inflammation, but have no therapeutic effect on synovial strain or trauma. Some oral medications have the same mechanism of action as topical medications, and few are effective in treating synovial lesions. Patients should be careful when choosing medicines and carefully check the functions and indications of the medicines. For example, if the medicine indicates pain, swelling, effusion, etc. caused by synovitis, it means that the medicine only has the effect of reducing inflammation and relieving symptoms.

In the early stages of immobilization and exercise therapy, the patient should rest in bed, elevate the affected limb, apply pressure with an elastic bandage, and avoid weight bearing. During the treatment, quadriceps contraction and relaxation exercises can be performed, and in the later stage, knee flexion and extension exercises should be strengthened. This has a positive effect on eliminating joint effusion, preventing quadriceps atrophy, preventing recurrent synovitis, and restoring knee flexion and extension function.

The Chinese medicine plaster therapy Wu Jin, the treatment of synovitis is mainly to regulate the microcirculation system. As long as the microcirculation is unblocked, the accumulated water will circulate away and the inflammation will also be relieved. Try not to overwork during the period of water accumulation and reduce the frequency of fluid extraction and injection. Excessive fluid extraction and injection will stimulate the fibrosis of the subsynovial connective tissue group and aging of the synovial tissue, which will significantly reduce the regeneration and repair ability of the synovial tissue, making further treatment more troublesome. Principle: The human body's meridians are composed of meridians and collaterals. Meridians are the main lines, collaterals are the side branches, and the meridians and collaterals crisscross to form a large network in the human body. Acupoints are the intersection points of meridians and collaterals. "If the disease is inside, it will manifest itself outside." When symptoms appear in a certain part of the human body, the treatment should be carried out according to the direction of the meridians, at the same time on the "Ashi point" and its corresponding acupoints, and in accordance with the corresponding course of treatment for the disease, a combination of vertical and horizontal ointment acupoints should be used to treat both the symptoms and the root causes, and completely cut off the root cause of recurrence. The ointment stimulates the acupoints, dredges the microcirculation, dilates the blood vessels, promotes local blood circulation, improves the nutrition of the surrounding tissues, promotes the absorption of the fluid in the bursa, and restores the dynamic balance of production and absorption, achieving the purpose of eliminating the synovial inflammation in the bursa and healing.
