About joint pain

  ”Feather tried to be hit by a stray arrow, through its left arm, after the wound although healed, every cloudy rain, bone often pain, the doctor said:” arrowhead poison, poison into the bone, when the broken arm for trauma, scrape the bone to poison, then this problem is removed from the ear.” Yu then stretched his arm and asked the doctor to split it. When Yu appropriate to invite the generals to eat relative, arm blood flow away, full in the plate ware, and Yu cut hot lead wine, laughing at ease”. This is the famous story of Hua Tuo scraping and healing Guan Yu’s wounds, which later people read and were impressed by Guan Yu’s fearless heroism and also described the miraculous hand of Hua Tuo.  The story describes that although Guan Yu’s wounds healed, his bones often ached every rainy day. Hua Tuo believed that the cause of Guan Yu’s chronic bone pain was the poison from the arrow, which penetrated deeply into his bones and needed to be scraped in order to be cured. From the perspective of modern medicine, we believe that Guan Yu may be suffering from rheumatism, rheumatism is a group of invasion of joints, bones, muscles, blood vessels and related soft tissue or connective tissue-based diseases, we have no way to investigate the specific pain areas and the degree of pain, but we can understand Guan Yu was this “weather forecast” like chronic pain The pain was so severe that he finally chose to cure the disease by “long pain is better than short pain”.  And after Guan Yu, there are still many “warriors” who have gone on to treat chronic pain in joints, bones and muscles in the way of scraping and healing. Ms. Huang, who looked weak but had big, strong eyes, held out her swollen and partially deformed hands and told me about her struggle with pain. 2 years ago, Ms. Huang had increased menstruation for no apparent reason, often requiring hospitalization for blood transfusions, and her gynecologist could not find any cause for the bleeding and attributed it to functional bleeding, but at that time, Ms. Huang already had 2 positive indicators One year ago, Ms. Huang developed joint pains in her limbs, but she completely forgot the doctor’s instructions and did not go to the hospital, but bought her own Chinese medicine for treatment. Her husband asked around for her and learned that a doctor could tap the diseased joint with a bamboo stick to open the meridians – no pain if it is open. However, the original joint pain not only did not improve, but also developed bilateral hip pain and difficulty in walking, at this time, Ms. Huang finally remembered the doctor’s instruction, and we examined her and confirmed her diagnosis of “bilateral femoral head necrosis, overlap syndrome (SLE and rheumatoid arthritis), lupus hematologic damage, lupus kidney “After standardized anti-rheumatic treatment, Ms. Huang’s joint pain was quickly controlled and her organ damage improved, and a month ago, Ms. Huang underwent bilateral femoral head replacement, and now she can walk and is in better spirits. Ms. Huang called me once while she was recuperating at home and said how wonderful life was now without pain and how grateful she was that we had given her a sense of rebirth.  Rheumatism involves a wide range of diseases, with many different types, different causes and complex clinical manifestations, just like Ms. Huang, whose earliest manifestation was increased menstruation, and only later did she develop joint pain. Other patients may have recurrent rashes, fever, mouth ulcers, hair loss, swelling of the face or lower extremities, white and purple hands and feet when cold, and so on. One of the most common clinical symptoms is arthralgia. Patients with arthralgia actually experience the same thing as Guan Yu, that is, pain, soreness and numbness in the joints and bones during rainy days or aggravation of the original symptoms. Patients with joint pain often feel a sore, painful, numb, heavy feeling in the diseased joints on rainy days, sometimes like being pressed by a cold boulder, sometimes feeling trapped inside a cloud of wet and cold gas that cannot be released, leading to mental depression in severe cases, even to the point of wanting to cut away the entire diseased joints with a knife! What about bone scraping! Although medicine has developed over 2,000 years since the Three Kingdoms period, humans have developed countless painkillers, but there are still a large proportion of joint pain patients still suffering from pain, so medical techniques similar to bone scraping still exist, such as small needles, sticks to beat (and the more painful the beating, the better the effect), release a large group of bees to stab the diseased joint, etc.  Patients with joint pain often think that joint pain is “rheumatism”, so they can take some Chinese medicine to “remove the wind and dampness” and soak their feet in hot water to get better. Patients with joint pain also often introduce their experiences to each other and popularize several anti-rheumatic drugs purchased from Hong Kong or Macau in a small circle of patients, in fact, most of these drugs contain hormonal ingredients, which can easily lead to osteoporosis and femoral head necrosis when taken for a long time. In fact, most of these drugs contain hormones, which can lead to osteoporosis and femoral head necrosis when taken for a long time. In fact, most recurrent arthritis often suggests the presence of some kind of serious rheumatism. If the rheumatism is treated at its root, the joint pain will be relieved naturally, and it will not lead to a dilemma like Ms. Huang’s, which leads to damage to important organs and femoral head necrosis! Among the rheumatic diseases that often present with joint pain, the more harmful ones are lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis, systemic sclerosis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, etc., while the less harmful ones are osteoarthritis, tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, reactive arthritis, etc. If patients with joint pain do not undergo differential diagnosis by rheumatologists and merely treat the painful joints, they are bound to embark on “The end result is imaginable: lupus erythematosus and vasculitis can lead to damage to important organs or even be fatal, rheumatoid arthritis can lead to joint deformation and unmanageable life, and gout patients eventually lead to renal insufficiency. Therefore, it is recommended that before modern-day Guan Yu people try to relieve pain through methods such as “bone scraping”, they should first catch the “real culprit” who causes joint pain, and arrest and sentence the culprit (i.e., treat the rheumatism that causes joint pain), then the world will be at peace (no longer let rheumatism affects joints and internal organs).
