How to Alleviate Rheumatoid Pain?
Patients with rheumatism pain can take medication for treatment, stay away from adverse environments, avoid excessive exercise, and maintain a good mindset. If the work or living environment is too damp or often in contact with water, rheumatism pain is prone to occur, mainly manifesting as joint pain and swelling. Some patients may also experience muscle pain, which requires timely intervention. Here are some recommendations:
1. Drug Treatment: Besides using Western medicine for pain relief, a combination of external application of traditional Chinese medicine and internal consumption of traditional Chinese medicine can also achieve good effects in promoting blood circulation, dredging meridians, and replenishing qi and blood.
2. Environmental Improvement: In daily life, pay attention to keep warm and stay away from damp and cold living and working environments. Avoid contact with cold water. Patients with streptococcal infection should actively undergo antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment to thoroughly eradicate streptococcus and restore normal immune function.
3. Reduce Activity: Rheumatism patients should exercise moderately in daily life to enhance their physical fitness. However, during the acute phase, it is best to rest in bed and avoid strenuous activities. Performing acupoint massage while resting in bed can promote blood circulation and relieve pain.
4. Maintain a Peaceful Mindset: Rheumatism tends to recur frequently, and its treatment is difficult. Patients may lose confidence due to pain. However, such emotions are not conducive to improving symptoms and may lead to meridian obstruction, poor blood circulation, and worsening pain. Regulation of daily life and mental state are also "miraculous medicines" for preventing the aggravation of rheumatism pain.
