1. Massage therapy

Wash your hands with warm water, dry them and rub them together until they are warm; find a quiet environment, preferably on the bed; wear only shorts, leaving your legs exposed.

Press six acupoints: Stand or sit flat on the bed, with your legs flat or your knees naturally bent. Rub your hands together to warm them up, and use your thumbs to press the six acupoints on the legs affected by synovitis, starting with light pressure and gradually increasing the pressure until you feel numbness and pain at the corresponding acupoints. The order of the 6 acupoints is as follows: Huantiao point, Futu point, Fengshi point, Xiyan point, Weizhong point, and Xuehai point. Press each acupoint for 2 minutes.

Push and press the thighs: Sit flat on the bed with your legs flat or naturally bent. Rub your hands together to warm them up, lay the leg with synovitis flat, and slowly push and press from the base of the thigh toward the knee with both hands, starting with light force and gradually increasing the force. When doing this step, concentrate your mind on the area where your hands are pushing, and use your mind and blood to push your qi and blood toward the knee area. Push and press for 3 minutes.

Press the knee: Sit flat on the bed with the affected leg flat or naturally bent. Rub your hands together to warm them up, and press the affected knee with both hands: first press left and right (left hand on the left side of the knee, right hand on the right side of the knee) for 1 minute, then press up and down (one hand on the upper part of the knee, the other hand on the lower part of the knee) for 1 minute, then press the knee joint in all directions (use the palms of both hands to rub the knees from all angles until the knees become hot) for 2 minutes. When doing this step, focus your mind on the area where your hands and knees touch. Note: When pressing, use the palm of your hand to apply force, similar to the force of kneading dough.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine plaster therapy

The treatment of synovitis mainly focuses on regulating the microcirculation system. As long as the microcirculation is unblocked, the accumulated water will circulate away and the inflammation will also be relieved. This is the role of Chinese medicine surgical plaster (Jinchuang Huoluo Plaster). Principle: External application of plaster stimulates nerve endings, which, through reflex, dilates blood vessels, promotes local blood circulation, improves nutrition of surrounding tissues, and promotes absorption of fluid in the bursa, thereby achieving the purpose of eliminating synovial inflammation in the bursa and healing the disease.

2. Dietary principles for synovitis

1. Eat less milk, goat's milk and other dairy products, as well as peanuts, chocolate, millet, cheese, toffee and other foods containing tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan, because they can produce arthritis mediators such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, tyrosine kinase autoantibodies and anti-milk IgE antibodies, which can easily cause allergies and cause arthritis to worsen, relapse or worsen.

2. Eat less fatty meat, high-animal fat and high-cholesterol foods. The ketone bodies, acids, arachidonic acid metabolites and inflammatory mediators it produces can inhibit the function of T lymphocytes, and easily cause and aggravate joint pain, swelling, bone decalcification and joint destruction.

3. Eat less sweets, as their sugars can easily cause allergies, aggravate the development of synovitis, and easily cause joint swelling and increased pain.

4. Drink less alcohol, coffee, tea and other beverages, and be careful to avoid passive smoking, as they can aggravate the deterioration of arthritis.

5. You can eat more animal blood, eggs, fish, shrimp, bean products, potatoes, beef, chicken and beef "tendon" and other foods rich in histidine, arginine, nucleic acid and collagen.
