What can pain patients do to stop being confused?

Case: Wang Mou, female, 32 years old, from Daying, Sichuan. She works with her husband Chen in Dongguan, Guangdong Province. In the past 2 years, Wang went to the local hospital for generalized pain and was treated for 3 months without any improvement. So to Guangzhou Zhongshan Medical University Hospital and other large hospitals in various departments, successively after blood tests, photographs, CT and MRI examination, have not found the exact lesion, the diagnosis is unknown, while taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, the pain of the initial medication can be partially relieved, about 1 month after the ineffective, had to change the doctor to try a variety of medications, 1 and a half years has seen more than 10 specialties, nearly 20 doctors, medication In 1.5 years, he had seen more than 10 specialties and nearly 20 doctors, taking numerous medications, with similar results. Considering that it may be the language barrier, the local doctors failed to fully understand their own words, so returned to Sichuan, successively to Daying, Suining, Chengdu, West China Medical University to see a doctor, another half a year has passed, but still not a clear diagnosis, the pain has not been resolved. Her husband, Chen Mou, thought that Wang Mou was faking her illness and wanted to divorce her, and the lawsuit went to court. Wang was very confused and in pain. Introduced to our pain specialist outpatient clinic, diagnosed as soft tissue damage generalized pain, admitted to the hospital according to the theory of soft tissue surgery focused on the implementation of the treatment for 23 days, the pain is greatly relieved and discharged. I receive pain patients in the outpatient clinic, found with Wang Mou similar cases are quite a lot, but the situation is different, the severity is different. Often hear patients complain that they suffer from pain do not know which section to look for, often see a number of departments, made a number of tests, but also ate a lot of drugs, the results of the pain is not effectively controlled, but also do not know what they actually got what disease, why is this situation? Could it be that he (she) encountered the doctor’s medical skills are not good or to consult the hospital inspection equipment backward or the doctor to prescribe the medicine is not good enough? None of the above. Then why? According to our observation of the patients who come to the pain clinic, we found that more than ninety-two percent (92.14%) is due to soft tissue damage resulting in chronic pain, this proportion is basically consistent with the results of foreign pain experts. So what are the characteristics of this soft tissue pain? Simply put, there are the following points: First, the onset of slow. This disease is caused by chronic strain injury, so the onset of disease is often more insidious, the initial performance of only minor pain, often do not pay attention to the long days when the pain aggravation leads to inconvenience in life and work before they begin to pay attention to, only to see a doctor. Only a small part of the sudden onset of severe pain. Second, it is not easy to diagnose. The main lesions of this disease in the muscle, fascia, fat and other soft tissues, blood biochemical indicators, ultrasound, CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other modern advanced tests so far have not been able to find this lesion. Does this mean that this disease cannot be diagnosed? Can’t be treated? This is not the case. If you meet a doctor who is well versed in soft tissue surgery, it becomes very simple. With the history and special physical examination can be diagnosed. Thirdly, it is extremely harmful. The disease has no physical signs, no biochemical imaging abnormalities, and thirdly, many medical professionals do not know much about this type of pain, thus causing diagnostic difficulties. At the same time, this disease makes the patient often pain discomfort, many patients in order to find out what disease they have, all the departments of the hospital to see all over the hospital, all the tests are done, have the ability to go to the hospital have gone, to spend their own money almost, but the result is still don’t know what disease, and has been suffering from pain. Patients themselves not only can not live and work normally, but also bring a huge economic burden to the family, and some also make the husband and wife do not get along. This disease to the patient, the patient’s family and society have brought great negative effects. Fourth, not a terminal disease. Once the disease is diagnosed by doctors who are proficient in soft tissue surgery, the treatment is relatively simple, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, you can be cured, and can be cured very thoroughly. Here, to the pain patients when the consultation to propose a few suggestions for your reference: First, if you “clear” what disease you suffer from, go to the appropriate specialty. Second, if you “know” what disease you are suffering from, have been treated, but the effect is not good, it is recommended to consult a pain specialist. If you don’t know what disease you are suffering from, and you don’t know which department you should go to, we suggest that you consult a pain specialist first. Fourth, please believe in one principle, that is, the principle of “specialized treatment”. Long-term focus on a certain area, there must be unique. Pain specialists, specialized for the treatment of pain and set up, the pursuit of the root cause, not only the symptoms, the pursuit of long-term pain effect rather than temporary analgesia. Headache, foot, treat the symptoms but not the root of the era has long been over! Fifth, please do not rely too much on modern medical examination instruments. Because the soft tissue damage caused by pain so far there is no good modern inspection methods, only with the doctor’s knowledge of soft tissue surgery and clinical experience for diagnosis, to confirm the diagnosis is to be proficient in soft tissue surgery doctor’s diagnosis of the appropriate treatment, pain control on the confirmation of the diagnosis. And modern medical instruments play a role in assisting and excluding other diseases. Sixth, where to find a doctor proficient in soft tissue surgery? As far as I know, the regular hospitals in the study of soft tissue surgery not many people, even if its founder, Professor Xuan Jinyin is also an orthopedic surgeon in Shanghai Jing’an District Hospital (not a large hospital in Shanghai), because of the questioning of the theory of herniated discs, and then founded the soft tissue surgery, to solve a lot of difficult pain, benefit a large number of patients with chronic pain.
