Pain will reduce the quality of life
Pain will not only cause the patient to suffer, but the persistent pain will also cause the body to lose the meaning of the warning signal.
seriously affects the patient's study, work, diet and sleep, and even psychological changes such as fear, insomnia, and anxiety, reducing the patient's quality of life and creating economic and social problems that cannot be ignored.
More importantly, it can cause obvious adverse effects on the body and bring various complications. Some serious complications are fatal, such as myocardial infarction, hypertension, cerebral hemorrhage , etc.
Common cognitive misunderstandings for pain
Misunderstanding 1: Pain is not a disease, just endure it if you can.
Most people have a deep-rooted misunderstanding about pain, believing that pain is an accessory for illness, and the pain will disappear when the disease is cured.
Most people also believe that chronic pain is a minor problem, but they do not know that headaches and chronic headaches will not only affect the quality of life, but will also lead to sleep disorders, appetite deficiency or mental breakdown, which will reduce the body's resistance, body's reaction ability and emergency response ability.
Therefore, chronic pain should be diagnosed and treated early to improve the quality of life.
Patience is the most unwise choice. Many times, just one pain may lead to minor lesions and major illnesses, and the quality of life will be greatly reduced.
Misunderstanding 2: No matter what method, just stop the pain.
When many people encounter minor illnesses and pains, they are used to blind treatment without a clear diagnosis.
For example, people with neck and shoulder pain are used to going to massage shops, or going to the pharmacy to buy plaster patches to relieve pain. These are not the right symptoms, and sometimes they will become more and more serious.
Misunderstanding 3: Treat wherever the pain is, and you cannot distinguish the root cause.
Use pain medication without finding out the cause.
Pain is just a manifestation of the disease. At the root of it, pain may come from different causes.
The most common low back pain also needs to be differentiated according to the location, nature of the pain, etc. The right medicine must be prescribed to distinguish whether the pain comes from skeletal muscle pain or neuropathic pain.
Use painkillers indiscriminately, etc., which can easily conceal the condition and delay treatment.
Misunderstanding 4: Cancer pain patients can only rely on injections and medication to relieve pain?
Traditional pain relief is to take oral and inject medicine to relieve pain.
At present, the pain clinic has carried out intrathecal infusion system implantation to relieve the pain of patients with cancer and chronic stubborn pain.
Misunderstanding 5: Can lumbar spondylosis and cervical spondylosis be treated ineffectively?
is not the case. At present, under the guidance of imaging, you can use the extremely thin puncture needle to directly reach the lesion, establish a 7mm working channel, and accurately treat cervical and lumbar pain under a high-definition camera. The effective efficiency can reach 90%, with little trauma and fast recovery.

pain should seek medical treatment as soon as possible
"Acute pain is a symptom, and chronic pain is a disease. This disease cannot be delayed."
If acute pain exceeds three months, it may become chronic pain. After chronic pain, medicine believes that it will have an impact on all systems of the body and eventually becomes chronic pain syndrome.
But in fact, most of the pain is not difficult to treat from the beginning, but many people think that pain is not a disease, so it later developed into a disease.
6, Director of the Department of Anesthesiology, Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, Liu Jitong, , reminds that pain is not only an important signal for human diseases, but also many chronic pains are diseases themselves and should be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.
Severe pain and pain are not obvious, but lasts for a long time and tends to gradually worsen, so you must go to the hospital for treatment.
Therefore, effective treatment of pain can improve the quality of life of patients and avoid the occurrence of serious complications.
