Myth 1: Pain, tolerate can be good Pain is a kind of unpleasant, affect the work efficiency and quality of life. Because there are many reasons for pain, involving many diseases, should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible, the pain can be controlled to a minimum, as soon as possible to relieve the pain, but also some of the diseases can be “nipped” in the bud. However, many people are holding the idea of “tolerate it”. They think that the pain is not a big problem, as long as you endure it and let it pass, you will be fine. Others are afraid of affecting their work or bothering their relatives and friends, and are unwilling to seek treatment. Unbeknownst to them, “tolerating pain” often brings serious consequences. Pain is a symptom, but also a disease, both a physiological protection system, but also a signal of disease. The correct attitude is to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, early diagnosis and treatment will achieve good results, but also reduce medical costs, otherwise it will lead to aggravation and deterioration of the condition; the second is to regular hospitals, not to be used indiscriminately to relieve pain. In addition, many chronic intractable pain diseases, its pain on the human body physical and mental damage is often much greater than the disease itself. “Disease destroys one’s body, but pain may destroy one’s soul.” If people are in pain for a long time, in addition to the aggravation of the disease, but also due to the pain of mental distress, triggering depression, personality changes, etc., pain on the human spirit caused by the damage can not be ignored. Myth two: home at any time with painkillers, advertising drugs There are many over-the-counter painkillers on the market, so some people go to the drugstore to buy painkillers at random, placed in the home ready, a little bit of pain on their own initiative to eat painkillers. Pain experts believe that painkillers are very effective in the short term under the guidance of a doctor, on the one hand, it can be used in conjunction with the treatment, on the other hand, it can effectively improve the quality of life of the patient, but the painkillers have greater side effects and can not cure the root cause. If you take painkillers indiscriminately for a long period of time, it may bring some damage to the stomach and intestines, liver or other internal organs. If you take two or three kinds of painkillers in a mixed way, it may bring more risks to the body, and may even cause gastric hemorrhage, necrosis of the femoral head and other serious consequences. Therefore, it is best to take under the guidance of a doctor, through the doctor to determine the cause, nature and degree of pain to give medication, in order to maximize the use of the therapeutic effect of drugs, while reducing side effects. Myth three: pain, rubbing hard or massage Reporters randomly interviewed a few people, everyone has experienced pain, the type of pain is also a variety of headaches, toothache, muscle pain, joint pain. In these people, many people like to go to do massage, or their own press rubbing, that this can relieve pain. Massage can relieve some pain, but not all pain is suitable for massage. For certain pains, such as those caused by some neuroinflammation, strong, reckless massage techniques can expand the inflammation and aggravate edema. For example, some time ago, there is an elderly patient, bending strain caused by lumbar disc herniation, in the bath center massage once, the next day, the symptoms not only did not reduce, but the pain straight back, wheelchair to the hospital for treatment, after examination, it is due to the massage technique is too heavy, resulting in aggravation of edema of the nerve root, so the lumbar pain is more pronounced. At the same time, some people find themselves in a certain part of the body when there is a problem, it is generally very easy to rely on the so-called experience to speculate on what disease they have, their own random treatment, this kind of judgment and treatment may put themselves into unnecessary panic, but also may delay the treatment of the disease, it is to be avoided, especially the elderly patients with pain, must be as far as possible first to the hospital diagnosis, treatment under the direction of the doctor.
