After the solar term in Grain Rain, it is the onset of neuralgia, such as trigeminal neuralgia, sciatica and intercostal neuralgia. I would like to remind you that once you get sick, don't be nervous, and you can treat it according to different causes.
Trigeminal neuralgia is paroxysmal and transient severe pain in a certain part of the face. This disease mostly occurs in the forehead, maxilla or mandible on one side of the face. Pain often breaks out suddenly, which is as unbearable as lightning and knife cutting. The onset age of the disease is mostly after middle age, and there are more female patients. Its etiology and pathogenesis are mostly the feeling of pathogenic wind and cold, which is limited to facial meridians, leading to the stagnation of meridians, blocked blood circulation and sudden pain. Su Wen's Theory of Great Pain said: "Cold enters the meridians late, so you can't cry. The guest is outside the pulse, the blood is less, the guest is in the pulse, and the qi is blocked, so it hurts. " In addition, liver qi stagnation, liver fire stagnation, improper diet, food stagnation and heat generation, liver and stomach fire rushing to the face and body yin deficiency, housework damaging essence, leading to yin deficiency and fire flourishing, which led to the occurrence of this disease. In addition, diseases such as teeth, mouth, ear and nose can also induce this disease. In the course of treatment, we should investigate its etiology and argue its symptoms. For those who feel cold, dredge qi and blood; Those with depressed fire in liver and stomach can purge the fire in liver and stomach; Those with yin deficiency and excessive fire should use the method of nourishing yin to reduce fire. Acupuncture has a good therapeutic effect on this disease.
Sciatic neuralgia refers to the pain of sciatic nerve pathway and its distribution area. Most of them are burning pain or acupuncture pain in the hip, the back of thigh and the back of calf. In severe cases, the pain is like a knife cut, and it is aggravated during activities. This disease belongs to the category of "arthralgia syndrome" in traditional Chinese medicine, and arthralgia syndrome has no meaning. Its etiology is nothing more than wind, cold and dampness invading the meridians, which leads to the obstruction of qi and blood in the meridians. According to the different clinical symptoms, it can be divided into four types: those who mainly feel the common cold and have wandering pain are called arthralgia syndrome; Those who mainly feel cold evil and have severe pain are called arthralgia syndrome; It is called "Zhi" because it mainly feels damp evil, which is characterized by bitter taste, numbness and drowsiness. Acute attack with fever symptoms is called thermal joint pain. Anyone suffering from sciatica should be treated according to the above four types of syndrome differentiation, dredge blood stasis in meridians, dispel wind and cold, remove dampness, reconcile camp and health, and relieve arthralgia.
As far as intercostal neuralgia is concerned, it is a common conscious symptom, which is manifested as pain in one or both ribs. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "hypochondriac pain" and "five evils of spiritual pivot", and says: "If the evil lies in the liver, both hypochondriac pain will occur." "On the Time of Su Wen's Method of Storing Qi" also said: "People with liver disease have pain under both sides and less abdomen." From the etiological point of view, the liver is located in the costal region, and its veins are distributed in two costal regions, so the symptoms of costal pain often appear when the liver is sick. The liver is the dirty of wind and wood, and the nature is happy and depressed. Emotional stagnation, loss of liver qi, obstruction of collaterals and obstruction of menstrual qi can cause hypochondriac pain. If the stagnation of liver qi lasts for a long time, qi stagnation and blood stasis, or stagnation of collaterals due to falling, will also lead to blood stasis and hypochondriac pain. No matter what the reason is, it is fundamentally related to the discomfort of liver-qi, so the treatment cannot be separated from the principles of soothing the liver and activating qi, promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals.
