[Patient Overview]

The old lumbar protrusion disease recurred and the pain was unbearable. I could barely walk a few steps and had to press the painful area again and rest. So I consulted online for diagnosis and treatment.

[Patient’s main complaint]

There is throbbing pain in the right thigh, a feeling that the tendons are short and cannot be left on the ground, the femoral head is painful and uncomfortable, and the skin in the painful area feels slightly warm, which is aggravated after walking. The tongue has pale purple coating and yellow greasy coating, and the underlying pathogenesis is damp-heat (the patient reported that he had been drinking for many years, and concluded that alcohol-damp heat is the main cause), exogenous wind-cold, and meridians are blocked.

[Case Summary]

Most of the syndromes of lumbar disc herniation can be classified as Bi syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine. The treatment should refer to the classic treatment of Bi syndrome.

[Prescription]

Clear away dampness and heat, disperse wind and cold externally, soothe muscles and unblock meridians. Coix seed 80, ephedra 15, white peony root 40, red peony root 40, licorice root 25, Achyranthes achyranthes 30, dendrobium 30, Millettia 40, mountain goat 10, Angelicae 10, blood Take five doses of 6 and decoction. The liver governs tendons , but this syndrome is not exclusively liver disease. The main cause is damp-heat (tongue) in the stomach, which does not nourish the tendons, so Shaoyao Licorice Decoction is used to relieve pain and relieve pain. You can use coix seed to clear up the tendons and relieve dampness and heat. The pain is on the back of the thigh, which belongs to the bladder meridian, so ephedra is used to relieve wind, cold and dampness in this meridian, and ephedra is an important medicine for treating paralysis, so it is chosen. Use Achyranthes to strengthen the muscles and bones, use dendrobium to prevent dampness and heat from damaging the yin, and the remaining medicines are all products for promoting blood circulation and unblocking collaterals. The symptoms were relieved after the second diagnosis. In the patient's words, "60% better". However, my right leg still hurts and feels uncomfortable after moving for too long. The previous effect has been achieved, so I improved the prescription and added the following changes: Add 10 almonds to make Maxing Yi Gan Decoction to treat paralysis, and take five more doses. After five doses, the patient reported that his thighs reached straight to his heels, as if his meridians were opened! My legs don’t hurt now! recovery status reaches clinical cure standards.

[Prescription experience]

1, Maxing Yi Gan decoction is miraculous in treating paralysis. It is originally a classic prescription in "Golden Chamber" (almonds relieve lung dampness and relieve pain with oil)

2. Ephedra is an important medicine for treating paralysis. , indispensable, can be used for cold-dampness paralysis, and can be supplemented by medicine for damp-heat paralysis. (It also enters the bladder meridian and is best for treating pain on the back of the leg)

3, Senior Zhang Xichun experienced the method of "left green dragon, right white tiger". For pain in the left leg, add deer antler glue 15, and on the right leg add tiger bone glue (the patient has pain in the right leg) It should be added, but the disease suddenly recovered before the medicine was added, so it was not added.) It should be more effective.
