Heart, shoulder and neck pain, back pain, stomach pain... Faced with these daily pains, some people feel that "if you bear it, you will pass." In fact, the pain is likely to be a signal that the body is sending a "call for help"! This week is the "China Analgesic Week". What pains need to be vigilant? How to deal with it correctly? Let’s listen to the experts’ suggestions together.
1 On the morning of October 17, the reporter came to the Pain Department of Nanjing Gulou Hospital, and many patients came to seek medical treatment due to long-term pain.
A pain patient said: "At the beginning, the lumbar disc herniation was herniated, and I felt fine, I could tolerate it myself. I tried all kinds of acupuncture and massage. I might have tried it for more than a month, almost two months, and the pain was particularly serious, so I went to the hospital to see it. The doctor said that the lumbar disc herniation was quite serious, and conservative treatment would definitely not be cured."
Li Jing, the chief physician of the Pain Department of Nanjing Gulou Hospital, said: "This patient mainly has pain in the left buttocks and left lower limbs. We chose a minimally invasive lumbar spine treatment for her, and the recovery after surgery is relatively fast. In fact, there is no need to endure pain like this at home, and we still need to go to the hospital for some examination."
Pain is listed as the fifth vital sign after breathing, pulse, blood pressure, and body temperature. Pain is not only a symptom of certain diseases, but may also be a disease itself, which can affect the body's metabolism, endocrine and other functions, and may even cause painful disability or life-threatening. Therefore, after pain occurs, never "bearable if you can".
Tao Gaojianyi, chief physician of the Pain Department of Nanjing Gulou Hospital: "If it does not relieve for a long time, the pain will gradually aggravate, or this pain will seriously affect sleep, especially at night pain. For middle-aged people above, some pain in special locations occur, including stubborn, persistent, and gradually aggravated pain in the chest area or back, and it must be taken seriously. Even if the pain in the same area, such as shoulder pain , it is very likely that it is not just shoulder pain, but some important organs or other problems. Eliminating some risk factors and clarifying the cause will help the subsequent treatment and rehabilitation."
Experts remind that pain is actually a warning signal, indicating that the body has undergone tissue damage or indicates that it is about to suffer damage. In the face of pain, you cannot rely on self-relieving pain relief to solve the problem. Blind use of medicine to relieve pain may conceal the symptoms and lead to delaying the condition. When pain occurs, relevant symptoms should be recorded consciously and medical treatment should be obtained in a timely manner to find out the cause and treat symptomatically.
Tao Gaojian said: "Let's see how long the pain lasts, where the part is, what situations the pain is more obvious or what situations the pain will relieve. Having a more accurate description during the treatment will help our doctor make a judgment faster."
