Ms. Huang is from Hebei, started experiencing soreness and weakness in both knees eight years ago. At that time, the symptoms were relatively mild and could be relieved by keeping warm. When the pain became severe, she sought medical help, but the results were not very satisfactory. Some doctors suggested surgery to replace the joints with artificial ones. However, upon hearing about the operation, Ms. Huang and her family were worried about the serious consequences that might arise from a failed surgery, so they gave up the surgical treatment.

Later, due to the high humidity in the weather, her condition worsened. Both knees were extremely sore and weak, and the pain was unbearable. Her sleep was also affected. She often woke up in the middle of the night due to the pain. Prolonged lack of sleep and pain caused Ms. Huang to lose a significant amount of weight.

Examination and Diagnosis

When Ms. Huang came to our hospital, the doctor’s examination confirmed that there was tenderness on the inner and outer sides of both knee joints, and her ability to squat was significantly restricted. She was diagnosed with bilateral knee joint syndrome and osteoarthritis.

Treatment Effect

One month later, Ms. Huang came to the hospital for a follow-up visit. She was in good mental state and walked more steadily and with greater strength. She reported that after receiving the treatment, she had been resting at home and ensuring that her knee joints were kept warm. The pain in her knees had significantly subsided, and she no longer felt discomfort in her body. Her sleep had improved, her appetite had increased, her complexion had become better, and she had even gained some weight.
