The patient who came here was named Geng Suozi, and he suffered from thromboangiitis obliterans and phlebitis.

About half of the diseases in Western medicine are vascular and blood diseases, such as cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, arterial dissection..., and among the blood and vascular diseases, about half are caused by blood thickening forming plaques that block blood vessels, which occur in different parts of the body.

Even though they are given different names, they are actually diseases of the same nature.

Of course, the causes of blood thickening and plaque clogging of blood vessels vary.

Thromboangitis obliterans is a chronic systemic vascular disease that most often affects young men aged 20 to 40 years old.

Because this disease is an allergic inflammation that occurs in blood vessels, it can easily lead to segmental stenosis and occlusion of small and medium-sized arteries, loss of nutrition in the extremities, ulcers, and necrosis. It is a relatively stubborn vascular disease.

Young men aged 20 to 40 have several characteristics that make them susceptible to this disease.

First, young and middle-aged men tend to smoke, and nicotine can constrict blood vessels, which will aggravate the symptoms of vasculitis; Second, young and middle-aged men tend to have hair/gas, which can easily lead to prostate dysfunction and vasomotor dysfunction; Third, young men

Men in their prime are mostly engaged in heavy physical labor outdoors. Injuries from severe cold, humidity and other environmental factors can cause abnormal contraction of blood vessels.

There are many other factors that lead to this disease, such as vascular neuroregulation disorders, immune system disorders, trauma, genetic factors, etc.

Never underestimate this disease!

This disease belongs to the category of "out of gangrene" in traditional Chinese medicine. Having this disease causes abnormal pain and is very torturous!

In mild cases, the limbs may become necrotic due to ischemic supply; in severe cases, the heart, lungs, and kidneys may fail and be fatal!

Even the "Huangdi Neijing" says this disease: "It occurs in the toes and is called sunburn. It is red and black in appearance and will die if it is not cured. If it is not red and black, it will not die or decline. If it is not cured, it will die."

It means to cut off the feet quickly to save trouble, otherwise you will die!

Well, I’m so scared!

At present, Western medicine can't do anything about this disease most of the time. The drug treatment in the early stage of the disease is to give some anti-inflammatory drugs, vasodilators, and analgesics. If the development of the disease cannot be stopped, the patient may be given some stents to expand the blood vessels.

, in recent years, stem cell culture treatments have been added, but there is still no way to treat most of this disease. In the end, we can only cut it off as Huang Di said!

Cut off the toes, cut off the feet, cut off the calves, mua, it was a joy to cut!

Some people have spent tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands on treatment, but in the end they still cannot escape the fate of being cut off!

Now that such a patient is brought to the clinic, it is fake that it does not cause headaches.

Moreover, this Geng Suozi had his right calf amputated for nearly a year due to necrosis of his right toe. As a result, he immediately discovered that his left toe turned dark red again. Now the severe pain in his left foot has been tormenting Geng Suozi for more than nine months!

It was so tortured that Geng Suozi had thoughts of committing suicide!

If he hadn't really been unable to leave his wife and his unmarried son in his twenties, he really wouldn't want to live!

What the hell, sometimes I think about how hateful this guy is, so I grab a person’s hair and pull it out!

Geng Suozi is a coal miner. Two years ago, he began to feel numbness in his feet and swelling and pain in his inner legs. There was no diagnosis at that time. He took tiger bone pills and received sealing injections and continued working. As a result, his condition gradually worsened and he began to walk with a limp.

.

After seven or eight months of this, Geng Suozi's big toe on his right foot began to appear a large black bean, and purple-red ecchymosis also appeared on the instep, which soon became necrotic, and gradually expanded to the lower end of his calf. He went to two major hospitals and both recommended For amputation, Geng Suozi had no choice but to amputate his right calf. Who knew that his left foot would soon die too!

Geng Suozi traveled to many places for this, and found many doctors for treatment, but none of them had much effect. Now that he heard Li Jiagen's name, he came here to try his luck.

However, when they arrived at the clinic, they heard that a great professor had come from the province, and Geng Suozi's wife placed her hopes on Professor Shen again.

But when she saw Li Jiagen and Professor Shen coming over to check on her man's condition, she felt very embarrassed and explained: "I'm sorry, Doctor Li. Actually, we came here for you, Doctor Li. Now we see that there are still provinces here." There is a big professor here, so I would like to ask the big professor to help me take a look at it as well."

Li Jiagan smiled and waved his hand and said, "You don't need to explain, Professor Shen is my master."

What else does he have to care about such patients and their families?

Professor Shen smiled and said: "Although Jia Gen is my apprentice, don't look at him because he is young. Now this apprentice's medical skills are no worse than those of us old guys."

"No, I'm still far, far away from you." Li Jiagen said hurriedly.

With that said, the two of them looked at Geng Suozi's condition together and found that the entire big toe of his left foot was dark red, the little toe and the outer side to the outer ankle were dark red, and the veins along the lower inner part of the calf were red, swollen and hot, and they could not be touched with their hands. It hurts and makes my whole leg cramp when I touch it!

Moreover, the arteries in the dorsum of his feet were also very thin and weak.

Damn it, the situation is really serious!

After checking the condition of his legs and feet, Professor Shen asked Geng Suozi to open his mouth and stick out his tongue to take a look. The tongue was red and the coating was yellow and greasy.

A sign of dampness and heat invading the tongue.

Then Li Jiagan and Professor Shen took turns diagnosing Geng Suozi's pulse with both hands, and the pulses detected were smooth and counting.

These tongue signs are consistent, which means that Geng Suozi's body is very damp and hot.

Diagnostic result: gangrene.

The syndrome is that cold-dampness accumulates for a long time, turns into damp-heat, and damp-heat enters the collaterals, resulting in collateral blockage and stagnation.

The main principles of treatment include dredging collaterals, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, clearing away heat and reducing dampness.

Determining the direction of treatment and the specific treatment measures are a big issue.

It is really difficult to reverse this disease with ordinary treatment. Li Jiagan thought that using his own acupuncture techniques combined with drug treatment, the success of Geng Suozi's disease was only between 50 and 50.

But there is nothing he can do. For the time being, this is the best estimate of the efficacy he can make.

"You give me acupuncture, and I'll prescribe medicine." Professor Shen pondered for a while and said.

Li Jiagan nodded and thought for a moment. He selected several acupuncture points such as Qu, Sanyinjiao, Yingu, Yinshi, Zusanli and Yinlingquan on Geng Suozi and started acupuncture. Acupuncture on these points can effectively promote If the blood circulation can be combined with massage, the effect will naturally be better. Unfortunately, Geng Suozi's calf hurt so much that he didn't dare to let anyone touch it.

“Vasculitis is a disease that generally involves a history of exposure to cold or freezing. Generally, if you are exposed to cold when walking on ice in the snow, you should rub the frozen limbs with snow cubes to gradually warm them up. This is not a big problem. It is best not to immediately bake or heat the limbs. Hot water can easily leave the root cause of the disease. Now, in addition to acupuncture and medication, you should also pay attention to using traditional Chinese medicine to soak your feet when you go back, and take various measures. Maybe this leg can be saved."

As Professor Shen spoke, he prescribed Geng Suozi a modified detoxifying and dehumidifying decoction, as well as Xihuang pills.

"Jia Gen, depending on the situation, you can give her some antidote, sea breeze vine, papaya, mulberry branch, mulberry root, achyranthes root, rhinoplasty root, and Aconite root to unblock meridians, dispel wind, dehumidify and analgesic, and maybe she can be saved. The patient’s leg.”

Professor Shen warned Li Jiagan while prescribing medicine. Li Jiagan nodded, but in his mind he was trying to recall a folk earthwork he had seen somewhere.
