One day, a patient limped in: "Doctor, my waist is really torturing me." Mr. Li gently rubbed his left waist as he spoke, his brows furrowed. I asked him to sit down and ask him about his condition. It turned out that in the past six months, his left buttocks began to have a dull pain, and gradually, this pain radiated along his left leg to his calf like an electric current, and when it was serious, he was almost unable to walk, and even sitting down became a luxury.
Fourth Diagnosis:
Visit: The patient's face is slightly pale, the left lower limb is in a protective posture when walking, and the muscles of the waist and left lower limb are slightly tense.
Olfaction: The patient's voice is clear and there is no special odor.
Consultation: self-reported radiating pain from the left buttocks to the left calf, difficulty walking, occasional hip pain, aggravated at night or after sitting for a long time, and slightly relieved after rest.
palpation: the pulse is tight, indicating stagnation of qi and blood; Tenderness on the left side of the fourth and fifth lumbar intervertebral spaces is evident, accompanied by radiating pain in the lower extremities and increased muscle tension.
I gently pressed his lumbar spine, and sure enough, on the left side of the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebral space, there was obvious tenderness, accompanied by radiating pain in the lower limbs. I comforted him and said, "Don't worry, we have a way to do it." "Then I made a prescription for him
Formula: peach kernel, safflower, Chuanxiong, angelica, red peony, earth dragon, frankincense, myrrh, hyssop, etc. (the specific needs to be differentiated by traditional Chinese medicine, in order to prevent unauthorized medication, the dosage is not disclosed for the time being)
"This medicine is hot, and I feel much more comfortable." Mr. Li felt it clearly after applying the hot compress for the first time. I told him that this is just the beginning, and that he needs to adhere to the treatment, and cooperate with proper rest and exercise to strengthen the lower back muscles and reduce the burden on the lumbar spine.
After two weeks of hot compress treatment, Mr. Li's symptoms have improved significantly, the radiating pain from his left hip to his calf has been significantly reduced, and he has become much easier to walk.
At the follow-up visit, he had a long-lost smile on his face and thanked him repeatedly. I told him that although the symptoms were relieved, daily maintenance was equally important, avoiding sitting and standing for long periods of time, and keeping his waist warm to prevent recurrence.
Note: Traditional Chinese medicine talks about one person, do not blindly use medicine, otherwise it will violate the syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine!
