Today (October 10), the reporter learned from Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine that the temperature has dropped sharply recently, and the number of patients with pain in the hospital has increased significantly. The main symptoms are low back pain, bone and joint pain, etc. Experts remind you that you must not bear the pain in your waist and legs and seek medical treatment in time.
When I came to the Acupuncture Department of Jiangsu Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, a woman was receiving acupuncture treatment. The woman told reporters: "The feet have been hurting for several years. It will be cooler when the weather is slightly cool. The same is true for all doors and windows to close. Acupuncture three or five times is really much better."
Zhong Li, deputy chief Chinese medicine practitioner of the Acupuncture Department of Jiangsu Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital, introduced that the "big drop" of the temperature will cause the person's nerves, blood vessels, and muscles to contract sharply, and the qi and blood cannot moisten and nourish the body. The human body's metabolites gather, and pain and discomfort are caused. "In the past few days, there are seven or eight new patients who come to see the doctor for treatment, such as neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain. The simplest understanding is thermal expansion and contraction. Once the temperature drops sharply, many elderly patients will obviously feel the pain in their arms and backs. Some young people can also feel it, such as accidentally twisting their necks or flickering their waists."
Zhong Li reminds that even if there is mild pain, don't bear it yourself, and seek medical treatment in time. "If it takes a long time, it will turn from mild pain to chronic pain. Chronic pain will cause local muscle fibrosis. Muscle fibrosis is an irreversible change. It is not recommended that you drag it at home."
Traditional Chinese medicine says "no manipulation will cause pain". Through acupuncture, some patients with bone injuries of cervical vertebra, lumbar vertebra, tennis elbow, tendonitis can significantly relieve the pain. At the same time, it also has obvious therapeutic effects on some internal traumatic diseases, such as abdominal pain. For some elderly patients, traditional Chinese medicine will be used to nourish the liver, kidneys and bones. Experts remind that elderly patients with lower and leg pain should pay attention to keeping warm and proper exercise in autumn and winter to relieve pain symptoms. For patients with chronic pain, you can also eat some mutton soup and red bean and peanut porridge with angelica added to promote blood circulation, which can help replenish qi and nourish blood .
