The meniscus is a bone in the knee, which is in a covering state, connecting the shin bone and the thigh bone, providing a good fixation for the human body. Although this bone may seem inconspicuous, its role is unique and very important. The meniscus can also experience wear and tear, causing inconvenience to people's bodies. Let's look at the symptoms of meniscus wear and tear.
The typical manifestations of meniscus injury are popping sounds in the knee joint, and pain when bending the knee, especially when bending excessively. To determine if there is a meniscus injury, consider undergoing an MRI of the knee joint at the hospital, which can generally provide an accurate diagnosis. For severe meniscus injuries, arthroscopic treatment can be considered.
Generally, knee joint injuries, such as sprains, or long-term vigorous exercise, mainly cause knee pain, especially when squatting. Pain is particularly evident in this area. Considering it may be a meniscus injury, an MRI of the knee joint can be done to confirm. If the meniscus injury is severe, arthroscopic surgery should be considered. Most meniscus injuries are caused by knee sprains, and improper handling can easily lead to traumatic arthritis or atrophy of the lower limb muscles. In general, meniscus injuries manifest as knee joint swelling, pain, and limited function, sometimes resulting in knee locking. For your situation, it is recommended to promptly visit a formal hospital for an MRI of the knee joint to identify the cause and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
Treatment:
1. Treating the root cause - This principle of traditional Chinese medicine for meniscus injuries mainly refers to identifying the underlying cause of the disease and addressing both the symptoms and the root cause.
2. Adjusting Yin and Yang - The occurrence of disease, fundamentally speaking, is the result of the relative balance between Yin and Yang being disrupted, leading to an imbalance. Restoring the relative balance between Yin and Yang and promoting their harmony is one of the fundamental principles of treatment, which is also the principle of traditional Chinese medicine for knee joint bone hyperplasia.
3. Regulating Qi and Blood - Qi and Blood are the main material foundations for the functional activities of the viscera and other tissues. Qi and Blood have their respective functions and are interdependent. Regulating Qi and Blood follows the principle of "reducing what is excessive and supplementing what is deficient" to restore their coordination.
