Some people in the group suggested purulent moxibustion, and some people said to try scraping.
Before giving the plan, let's first understand the formation of tenosynovitis.
Tenosynovitis is generally caused by overuse of the affected part, mainly due to long-term use or frequent use of the thumb in a short period of time, which leads to repeated friction of the tendon in the bone fiber tube to form traumatic inflammation.
For example, we often talk about the "mother's hand", because the mother holds the child for a long time, which leads to the slow circulation of blood stasis in the arm, thus involving the "ischemia" of the thumb joint and unable to nourish the joint. In addition, if you don't pay attention, it's easy to catch cold from the outside, which makes the blood stagnate and the blood stasis is blocked, which is very painful.
More than three years ago, after giving birth to a child, I got tenosynovitis for a while. At that time, the most obvious symptom was the pain of thumb joints on both sides, which could not be straightened. Wrist wrenching hurts. Once, when I was eating with chopsticks, I obviously felt the cold sprint my whole arm because of the unbearable pain. I mainly chose wheat moxibustion for the pain. Tenosynovitis took several months to heal. The picture below shows the scar left by wheat grain moxibustion.
Under normal circumstances, many people can't accept this method, on the one hand, it will leave scars, on the other hand, wheat grain moxibustion is to directly rub moxa sticks into wheat grains and put them on the affected area to directly ignite and burn. This method is more painful. Most people can't stand it.
Upon inquiry, the symptoms of group friends involve a wide range, not only tenosynovitis, but also moon disease, with a big lump in the calf.
Chinese medicine treatment should follow the principles of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain. It is necessary not only to drive away exogenous evil caused by cold and dampness, but also to dredge meridians, reconcile qi and blood, make qi and blood run smoothly and improve local circulation.
According to the situation of this group of friends, purulent moxibustion and wheat grain moxibustion are not the best choices, and the method of "scraping+moxibustion+hot compress" is adopted to combine the three.
In addition, be sure to keep your arms warm, try to wear long sleeves and gloves.
