Patient's question:
More than two months after the operation, I still have lower back pain and a feeling of coldness. When I bend down, I can't straighten up. Hammering with my hand causes aching. I have had four massages and four heat treatments, but they haven't improved the condition. What medicine or other methods can help?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend. According to the situation you described, it may be due to the body not recovering promptly after surgery, which then triggers the symptoms of kidney Yang deficiency. The Yang Qi in the kidneys is responsible for warming the limbs, and when it is insufficient, it can lead to symptoms such as lower back pain and a feeling of coldness. This condition can be addressed by adopting measures to warm the Yang and nourish the kidneys for. It is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine department, where a diagnosis can be made based on the tongue and pulse manifestations. After confirmation, Chinese herbal medicine can be prescribed for treatment.
