If you have a “complex disease”, you must first look for the cause in your lifestyle Does physical therapy have any tricks for pain relief? I didn’t expect that a random question would lead to this reflection from the experts. Director Ma Yanhong wants to tell us that behind any complex disease, there may be hidden a poor or unsuitable lifestyle, and we must first analyze why we have the disease, otherwise wasting valuable time and energy will not solve the underlying problem. For five years, I have never thought about why my stomach hurts when I drive. You can get stomach pain even if you have no digestive tract problems I first started getting stomach pain in 2004. According to the textbook definition, I diagnosed myself with typical fasting pain. The pain started vaguely every day as soon as I got off work at 5:00 pm, worsened as soon as I drove, left the hospital gates, turned onto the main road on Fuyu Street, and hurt again at 11:00 pm before going to bed and at 4:00 am. I tried to relieve the pain by eating something, but the discomfort got slightly better and remained uncomfortable. Guarding the hospital, I had two gastroscopies. The chief of gastroenterology told me, “You have a beautiful mucous membrane of the digestive tract, not an organic lesion.” But I still pestered the director to recount to him how sick I was until he asked me, “Are you depressed?” I didn’t even realize it was a lifestyle change that was causing the problem, and my answer at the time was, “No way, I have a good family, a good job, and a successful career, so why should I be depressed?” But since then, I’ve been afraid to pursue it with him. I then took Cisapride and got better after two weeks of painful diarrhea. Why did my stool improve and my stomach stop hurting? Before I had time to seriously think about it, I started to have neck, shoulder and back pain again in 2005, and the chief of neurology diagnosed me as having mixed cervical spondylosis, with dizziness, sweating, panic, and neck, shoulder and back pain. It was very convenient to guard the physiotherapy department for treatment, and I tried electrotherapy, gua sha, massage, and traction, but it was only easy for a while, and it was so painful to sleep at night that I didn’t know where to put my head, and I had to change four pillows a night. So I began to go out to seek treatment, and by chance came into contact with acupuncture medicine, learned about spinal-related diseases, and experienced the techniques of acupuncture everyone, and the pain was quickly relieved. Stomach pain with appendicitis But I did not expect to start abdominal pain again in 2007, this pain is abdominal distension, so distended that you want to insert a needle in the belly to deflate, feeling “constipated”, and the stool is getting thinner and thinner, wondering if there is something wrong with their colon, several times want to do a test, but afraid of pain and backed off, until the 2008 Chinese New Year’s Eve After overeating and freezing in the middle of the night after setting off firecrackers, appendicitis appeared, which was not relieved by oral and intravenous fluids for nearly a month, and finally the appendix was surgically removed before the first month. I thought everything would be fine after the surgery, but I still have abdominal distension and discomfort from time to time, just like I felt before the surgery, and on reflection I found the following problems: 1. ), there are long, hard and painful knots in the tendons. In 2003, I moved and had to cross the congested Chang’an Street to go to and from work. My original habits, especially my bowel habits, were completely disrupted, so I did not care about this matter. 3, like to eat fried, greasy things. Control mouth, open legs also do not work for the above 3 reasons, I think of ways to solve: 1, adjust the height of the table and chairs, so that their back, neck relaxation, every 40 minutes to get up and move around; adhere to play badminton twice a week. 2, habits of life, especially bowel habits have not been too good solution, so I had to insist on the relevant acupuncture points massage. 3, control the mouth, before just do not eat cold, now the fried, dough, fried cake, dumplings, rice cakes, dumplings as far as possible to give up. When these three problems one by one attention, I feel that my gastrointestinal function is basically no big problem, but still have the feeling of neck and back discomfort, and more and more do not like to drive, and even every afternoon after 4:00 dare not drink water, because the thought of 5:30 when the end of the day on the road to kill, blocking the scene will be nervous, a nervous want to go to the toilet, finally made up his mind in 2009 After November 2009, I did not drive and took the shuttle bus instead. I didn’t expect to sit on the shuttle bus at the end of the day, but it was easier than ever. I saw the congested vehicles, the bustling bicycles and pedestrians through the window, but I felt a sense of comfort. Since then, I have fallen in love with the shuttle bus, and I have never been more relaxed mentally, and my neck and back are miraculously better, and my gastrointestinal tract is more comfortable than before. My daughter’s words woke me up to the fact that my whole body hurt, which was caused by moving and driving, and even the appendicitis surgery was an avoidable grievance. When I think back to the days of driving, I was exhausted from work, and then I drove all the way home from work, often feeling emotionally bad to the extreme, often angry at my daughter and my lover for trivial things, which I hadn’t felt, and only after I gave up driving did I realize that it wasn’t my specialty, let alone my preferred way of life, my spirit was yielding to the fad, yielding to the fashion, but my body didn’t accept it, it was rebelling in its own way against It is rebelling against me in its own way. Author’s Note: I am a doctor and a patient at the same time, and I now realize more and more deeply that it is sometimes difficult to be a doctor who wants to treat his own illness, let alone treating unfamiliar patients. In today’s era of rapid development of material civilization, people are often attracted and disturbed by external fashions and fashions, their eyes are always looking outward, they are sensitive to the outside world, but they seldom stop to look at themselves, listen to and feel the sound of their own bodies, and they are very slow to feel their own hearts and bodies. So when the disease comes, it is inevitable to panic. Some young people, in particular, think they have the time, physical strength and capital to squander, indulge and consume at will; they scoff at health, good habits and advice, thinking they are something for the old and old, but once a serious illness comes they don’t have the bravado to squander and consume, let alone the courage to die as if they were dying, only remorse for the past and the desire for a healthy life. I often encourage my patients to be kind to themselves and to others. When a patient has some persistent symptoms, such as the most common chronic pain, which cannot be cured, he or she should seek help and treatment from two aspects: First, he or she can go to a psychological specialist for help and treatment, because modern medical research has confirmed that chronic pain for more than three months is an independently diagnosed disease, and it is more or less accompanied by psychological disorders or disorders, but we often do not realize it ourselves. However, we often do not realize it, or it is difficult to accept that we have “mental and psychological” problems, for fear of being laughed at by others. In fact, in real life, only a small number of people are completely normal or abnormal mentally, and the vast majority of people have local disorders, just as there have been only two world wars over the centuries, but local conflicts around the world have never stopped. Secondly, we must look for problems in our daily life and work. Our stress may come from various aspects, such as the change of habits caused by my move for many years, and the stress brought by driving, but we often “do not know the true face of the mountain, but only because we are in the mountain”; so now I often tell my patients to go home and talk to their own families. Talk, ask them what is the most unacceptable “problems, habits”, maybe they pick the problem may be you think the most reasonable, the most satisfactory thing, but it is the root cause of your long-standing pain. Because the onlooker is clear.
