The mucous sac is a membrane around the joint and has a small sac shape with mucus between muscles, bones, and skin. There are about 150 mucous sacs in the body, including knees, hip joints, shoulders, and peach bones. It is mucocystitis that protrudes or mostly in areas where bones protrude a lot.
If it's around the ankle bone, around the knee, and around the elbow, it's noticeable, and if it's around the shoulder and hip, it's hard to see, but I feel pain and discomfort. In particular, areas such as elbows, hip joints, shoulders, knees, and peach bones have a lot of movement. Joint activities and tennis, golf, and skiing cause mucocystitis. In addition to repeated stimulation, mucocystitis can be caused by trauma and infection.
When mucocystitis occurs, pain occurs first in the area. Pain occurs in the area protruding from the joint. In addition to pain, symptoms such as swelling, redness, fever, and reduced range of exercise may be accompanied. When sciatica (hip bone) mucocystitis occurs, there is pain in the area where the hip bone touches when sitting, and it becomes difficult to sit upright in a chair,
When mucocystitis occurs in the knee, it is easy to confuse degenerative arthritis and symptoms. The cause of knee mucosal cystitis can be knee injury after exercise and wrong lifestyle. It is easy to develop diseases if you do housework or if your knees are constantly touching the floor and an impact is applied. Repeated damage causes bleeding or pain in the area.
If you feel a sour pain deep in the knee joint or if the pain is severe when going up and down the stairs, you may suspect arthritis. On the other hand, if the knee is swollen and feels hot when pressing the painful area, it is highly likely to be knee mucocystitis if something hard is touched on the knee. If the arm is raised above the shoulder height and the work is performed for a long time, mucocystitis may also occur on the shoulder.
Mucocystitis is more likely to occur and has a high risk of recurrence. In order to diagnose mucosal cystitis, it is necessary to check whether tenderness that feels pain is observed when touching or pressing the area, and whether the joint's heat and redness are visible. Blood tests may show increased white blood cells and increased inflammatory levels, but they are often normal, and if magnetic resonance tests (MRI) are performed, inflammation of mucous sacs can be observed.
Park Ki-beom, head of the Center for Orthopedic Surgery at Seran Hospital, said "Mucosal cystitis is simple to treat, but if left unattended, it is easy to lead to chronicity. Conservative methods such as analgesic anti-inflammatory drug treatment and steroid injection treatment may be considered in the beginning, and physical therapy is recommended in combination. "If it is caused by an infection, antibiotics are required, and surgical treatment may be required depending on the degree of symptoms."
Park Ki-beom, head of the lower extremity center, said "When the mucosal cystitis grows, it is sometimes confirmed by ultrasound, and the most accurate diagnosis is MRI. Mucocystitis is a chronic disease, and efforts to reduce the patient's own activity and minimize irritation are important. "It is important to identify differences from other similar diseases and make accurate diagnosis because symptoms may overlap with diseases such as arthritis, soft tissue damage, and tendonitis."
