Chapter 254: : Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis

It's getting so late now, the pork guy over there must have closed the file and went home long ago. To find the other party, he can only go there tomorrow.
"Auntie, Uncle Yang, I can only help you find it tomorrow afternoon, and I will definitely convince them!" Ye Chen said.
"Doctor Ye, we listen to you!" Li Yangmei said with a smile. If it is only relying on her and Yang Lei, I am afraid that this is the case, so I can only swallow it like that.
Ye Chen carefully checked Yang Lei and Li Yangmei, and found that the group did not really want to kill the two of them, and even more dare not beat them to death.
Therefore, they hit the two of them. Except for head bleeding, which was more serious, the others were skin injuries and some swollen areas, which should be eliminated tomorrow.
But even so, Ye Chen also found it back. It was obvious that the pork guy was wrong, but he was so arrogant. It was this kind of person that Ye Chen looked down on most.
After Ye Chen checked Li Yangmei and both of them, they found that apart from buying some medicine for skin trauma, it was enough to apply it instead of taking any medicine. Therefore, Ye Chen did not prescribe medicine for the two of them, but continued to check on Grandpa Yang on the bed.
Just now, Ye Chen had already checked Grandpa Yang, and Grandpa Yang's brain loss and his right leg fracture were completely healed.
"Doctor Ye, your Chinese medicine is good!" Grandpa Yang said. These older generations who grew up in rural areas have the most contact with Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, and their feelings for Chinese medicine are also the deepest.
Even many rural people, if they have any pain, they can go up the mountain to find some herbs to heal themselves according to some remedies.
When Grandpa Yang was in the village, it was almost the same. However, after he came to the city, he found that Chinese medicine stores were rare. If he wanted to find another Chinese doctor to treat his body arthritis, he really didn't know where to find it? And those big hospitals are so expensive, and they certainly dare not go there.
"Grandpa Yang, as long as Chinese medicine prescribes the right medicine, in general, the effect of Chinese medicine is good!" Ye Chen said. Seeing Grandpa Yang’s legs, apart from being thinner, and the veins inside were clearly visible, it seemed a little difficult to lift.
Thinking that he used to inspect the bottles to sell or buy vegetables, he felt that Grandpa Yang was not easy or simple.
"Grandpa Yang, when did your rheumatoid arthritis begin to appear?" Ye Chen asked.
This kind of symptom is called rheumatoid arthritis in Western medicine. In Chinese medicine, this type of disease is collectively called arthritis. In fact, the scope of Arthralgia is very wide, and rheumatoid arthritis is just one type of Arthralgia.
"It should have been more than ten years. When I was in the countryside, it was not very obvious, but in winter, there was some obvious pain. When I came to Shanghai, after four or five years, the pain was much more obvious, especially in summer. And in winter, the bones inside feel painful!"
In Shanghai, when the summer resurgence, the environment of this house is not good, wet, and patients with rheumatoid arthritis will definitely get worse.
In winter, even though Shanghai is south of the Yangtze River, when winter comes, it will still snow and reach sub-zero temperatures. If there is no heating system installed here, it will also cause great problems for his arthritis.
In the past, Yang Jianguo had not told Yang Jingya's parents about this. Now when he faced Ye Chen, he saw that Ye Chen was so sincere and good at treating illnesses, so he said them all.
"Grandpa, why didn't you say it earlier?" Yang Jingya asked.
Before, she hadn't noticed her grandpa's situation. If it wasn't this time, Ye Chen sent her grandpa to first aid for a full body physical examination. She really didn't know that grandpa had such severe rheumatoid arthritis.
In fact, this is not just the case of Grandpa Yang. In China, most farmers, or even ordinary people in the city, never go to the hospital for a physical examination once a year, and they don’t know their physical condition. .
In that case, it is usually in the case of the person who is very ill and is forced to go to the hospital for treatment, and the hospital will do a full-body examination before knowing if there are other diseases. On the same day, when Ye Chen checked Grandpa Yang, he confirmed that Grandpa Yang had a condition like arthralgia. However, Ye Chen learned that Grandpa Yang had a symptom of arthralgia after the same examination.
"Grandpa Yang, have you ever seen a doctor for treatment before?" Ye Chen asked.
"When I was in my hometown, I went to dig some tripterygium wilfordii to boil the medicine according to the old folk remedy. After each drink, the effect was not bad. Later, when I came to Shanghai, I didn’t know where to find Tripterygium wilfordii, so there was no I used it again. Some time ago, I heard an old man in the city say that I bought a box of'Prednisone' in a drugstore to take it, and the effect is not obvious!" Grandpa Yang said.
According to Grandpa Yang, Ye Chen is really familiar with Tripterygium wilfordii, because Tripterygium wilfordii is common in many places and easy to find. One of its functions is to expel wind and dampness, and rheumatic joints. Yan is closely related to rheumatism.
However, Tripterygium wilfordii is a highly toxic drug, especially the skin is extremely toxic. If used indiscriminately, it is easy to get poisoned. This is very cautious in Chinese medicine. You can’t just use it casually because you know the usefulness of the medicinal materials because of some folk remedies, it would be very dangerous.
After understanding the inspection report of Grandpa Yang last time, Ye Chen already knew very well about Grandpa Yang.
Obviously, this condition of Grandpa Yang belongs to a very serious and also very common type of arthralgia of the elderly. As for Grandpa Yang's current situation, I am afraid that if he is not treated well this time, he may not be able to walk in the future, and his limbs will be in pain during the two most obvious seasons of summer and winter.
"Grandpa Yang, this disease is a common disease for the elderly. In the eyes of other doctors, it is difficult to treat, or it is difficult to cure, but I have a way to treat your disease. , You don’t have to suffer from this disease anymore!" Ye Chen said.
"Really?" Yang Jingya couldn't believe it.
"Well, I deceive no one to deceive the patient! Of course, Grandpa Yang's illness requires acupuncture and moxibustion to treat his illness," Ye Chen said.
Now Ye Chen asked Yang Jingya to find him a pen and paper, and wrote on that piece of paper: "Yang, male, 65 years old, has joint pain and swelling, joint stiffness, poor flexion and extension, local redness and heat, and joint and muscle aches all over the body. The resurgence in summer and winter is particularly obvious, and the pain lasts for more than ten years. I have used the traditional medicine tripterygium wilfordii for more than ten years. It has an effect. After I went to the city, I stopped tripterygium and took the western medicine prednisone. The effect was not obvious. In recent years, the condition is obvious. Aggravate."
"Tongue appearance: pale red tongue, white tongue coating. Pulse condition: thin string. Diagnosis: Arthralgia, cold and dampness blocking the collaterals syndrome. TCM dialectics: cold is the evil yin, the main attraction is stagnation, the wind is clear and rising and the number changes, so wind and cold The evil invades the human body, obstructs the meridian joints, and causes the qi and blood to flow poorly. It can be seen that the limbs and joints are cold and painful, the flexion and extension are not good, and the pain is not fixed.
"Cold is the evil of yin, when yin is strong, cold is cold, so the local skin color is not red, and the touch is not hot; when cold is encountered, the blood is more difficult, so the pain is more severe, and the fragrance and heat are smooth and bloody, so the pain is reduced; Red, white moss, slow or tight pulse strings are signs of cold pathogens, and floating pulses are signs of wind pathogens and external sensations. Treatment: expelling wind and dispelling cold, warming meridians and dredging collaterals."
