Pay attention to computer sequela and beware of neck, shoulder and wrist syndrome.

Zhou, the attending physician of Chinese medicine department of Renai Hospital of Taipei United Hospital, said that neck-shoulder-wrist syndrome is a common computer sequela. Usually, the patient's attention is very concentrated, which not only makes the muscles around the neck and shoulders tense, but also compresses the nerves in the wrist joints and hands and shoulders. Of course, neck-shoulder-wrist syndrome will also come uninvited.

The main symptom of neck-shoulder-wrist syndrome is that the neck can't rotate suddenly; Numbness of fingers and palms, intermittent tingling; There is pain in the palm, wrist or forearm, and the thumb can't stretch freely, so there is pain. Severe weakness of fingers and hands, especially poor blood circulation at night. Long-term pain and discomfort can do great harm to the mood.

Pain due to qi stagnation is closely related to emotional problems. The pain parts of these patients are not fixed, and they are often accompanied by seven emotions, such as heavy work pressure, chest tightness, boredom, breathlessness, chest pain, poor sleep, stiff neck, backache or headache, migraine and occasional abdominal pain and flatulence. Because the liver belongs to wood, it is happy, similar to emotion. If emotional depression affects the soothing nature of the liver, it will easily lead to liver depression and qi stagnation, and pain will also occur. At this time, the treatment principle is to regulate qi and relieve pain, supplemented by products that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

Another type of pain is "blood stasis", which is characterized by continuous fixation of pain. Clinically, oral administration of "promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis" is the most common, and even combined with acupuncture or external application of plaster and cupping, blood vessels are dilated, blood circulation is accelerated, and pathological products produced by poor circulation, such as blood stasis or phlegm, are quickly dissolved and absorbed to restore blood flow.
