Myth 1: Pain is not a disease, tolerate it! “Pain” is the earliest and most experienced subjective sensation in everyone’s life, and is the main signal of damage to human tissues and organs. It serves as a protective signal to avoid danger or go to the doctor. For the chronic pain that can still be tolerated, many people do not take it seriously, and can tolerate it. In fact, pain not only makes the patient mental anguish, loss of labor, quality of life declines, long-term prolonged pain will also make the body’s organs and systems of dysfunction, low immunity and induced a variety of complications, and greatly shorten the life of people. The World Health Organization has clearly put forward: “acute pain is a symptom, chronic pain is a disease”. The pain department is precisely to solve a variety of chronic pain professional department, chronic pain disease should be timely to the pain department for medical treatment. Myth 2: No matter what method, first stop the pain before. “It is extremely wrong to treat the headache and the foot when there is a headache, and this is not the right way to treat the symptoms. The correct way to deal with chronic pain is: on the basis of a clear cause of the disease, through the treatment of the cause of the disease, to remove inflammatory metabolites, effectively improve the local blood circulation disorders, interrupt the vicious cycle of pain, to achieve the purpose of a long-term complete pain management. If the emergence of pain indiscriminate use of painkillers such as: injection of dulcolax, because the pain is temporarily masked and delayed condition, is very likely to cause serious adverse consequences, so we must take the correct method of pain treatment, rather than analgesia. Myth 3: back pain after exertion and cold is caused by wind and cold, my back is fine! Inappropriate posture or cold is the triggering factor of lumbar pain, but often have their underlying disease, that is, the lumbar back, buttock muscles, fascia and other soft tissues due to long-term strain, accumulation of disease, encountered cold, exertion, cold or endocrine changes such as menstruation before and after the menopause, there is a sudden onset of pain or aggravation of the original pain. X-ray examination of such patients is often normal, but it does not mean that there is no problem with the waist, because the soft tissue lesions can not be shown on imaging. Taking medicine, physical therapy, nerve block can relieve pain and eliminate inflammation and edema. This patient should usually pay attention to the protection of the waist: avoid prolonged sitting, so as not to aggravate the burden on the waist; pay attention to keep warm; and appropriate exercise. Myth 4: “the original disease is cured” should not be painful! Some people shingles cured, but a few months or years after the original herpes region occurs stubborn severe pain, especially the old and frail or chronic diseases are more likely to occur, this disease is called postherpetic neuralgia, is due to nerve cell degeneration caused by damage. In order to minimize the occurrence of this condition, regular antiviral and prompt pain relief treatment is necessary during the acute exanthematous phase of herpes zoster. In fact, this disease is not cured, herpes subsided, that is only the surface phenomenon, is a stage of the disease, there is still severe pain itself shows that the disease is not good, but also need to continue to treat, just different stages, the focus of the treatment is different. Myth 5: Surgery is successful, imaging tests are normal, how to still pain! It is true that some patients after spinal surgery, cranial surgery, gynecological surgery, etc. have this complaint. Modern medicine believes that health is not only the normal morphology of the body, but more importantly, the normal function, and pain medicine is precisely the science of addressing function. Take a simple example: degenerative changes in the spine of the elderly caused by nerve compression, inflammation and edema and pain, if you can use the most simple and effective way to directly target the diseased nerve anti-inflammatory treatment, nutritional nerve treatment, the pain will naturally be relieved soon. If you make a big effort to correct the bones, the old pain has not had time to solve, the new pain may have been generated, which is never to be taken. Myth 6: If the pain is not fixed, it is considered to be rheumatic pain. According to clinical observation, most chronic pain patients pain site is often not fixed, back pain for a period of time, somehow good, but then leg pain, followed by shoulder pain, neck pain, etc., a lot of friends think that this will run the pain must be rheumatic pain. In fact, this is a common manifestation of soft tissue pain, is the body’s own protective mechanism to play a role in the performance of the parts of the body that will have the disease and pain protection is an instinctive response of the body. But if you do not pay attention and treatment, the pain will become more and more broad, and finally developed into a generalized pain. But this is by no means rheumatism, the diagnosis of rheumatism requires strict criteria. Myth 7: The medical examination in the normal range, it is thought that there is no disease. A large number of pain cases proved that the medical examination are normal, but the patient is intolerable pain, non-professionals often think that such patients do not have a disease or psychological disease, is pretending to be sick, especially loved ones do not understand that is pretending to be sick, to the patient’s psychological pain is unimaginable, on the one hand, to bear the pain on the body, but at the same time have to bear the psychological anguish, it is not easy ah. In fact, most of them suffer from soft tissue pain, and modern medical instruments on the diagnosis of soft tissue pain basically has no effect, mainly relying on the patient’s clinical performance and the doctor’s clinical experience, and then treated, if the condition improves, the diagnosis is confirmed. If we stick to various medical examinations and delay treatment, patients will suffer more physical and psychological pain and bear a greater economic burden. Myth 8: If you don’t engage in physical labor, you won’t suffer from strain! Some patients say, “I am not engaged in physical labor, how can I have a strain injury? As a matter of fact, strain injury is caused by improper behavior and posture in daily life and work, resulting in the overuse of certain muscle tissues, which is not closely related to whether or not one is engaged in physical labor. Minor students, due to pain caused by strain, often thought to be growing pains, lack of calcium, not properly dealt with, some of the pain to continue into adulthood, such examples are not uncommon. Often sit in the office friends, neck, lumbar muscles are most vulnerable to strain, soreness and discomfort, over time, some acute attacks, the neck can not move, lumbar can not stretch, can not bend, legs can not line, treatment will have to spend more work.
