In the outpatient complex building of Dahua Jikang hospital, the waiting room of orthopedic surgery on the fifth floor, rows of waiting chairs are filled with patients and their families waiting for treatment.
Some of them were in wheelchairs, others were holding crutches, which was normal in orthopedic surgery, and an uncle who had been waiting for a long time was sleeping in a chair and snoring.
Zhou Haorui sat in one of the rows, pressed his cell phone on his hand, and from time to time looked up at the electronic queue calling screen on the wall. It was his turn. He touched the cervical vertebra, some slight stabbing pain, the pain heart also pulled up.
"It won't be so bad..."
Zhou Haorui is 20 years old. He is not a local. He has come to China from other places to study. He majored in chemistry at the University of technology.
Dahua Polytechnic is an ordinary two, just as he is an ordinary boy.
I once wanted to enter Tianji University, but I didn't have that kind of talent.
Zhou Haorui felt his neck, and there were X-ray results just taken in the medical record bag next to him. On the mobile phone, he found a rare disease:
progressive muscular ossification
fibrodysplasia ossificans sprogressiva, abbreviated as for.
Today is March 30, about a week ago. After waking up, Zhou Haorui felt a special pain in his neck. At that time, he thought it was a stiff neck. After a rest, he would be fine. I didn't expect that after two days, not only did not get better, but the neck became more and more stiff, and sometimes it would click, which was very uncomfortable.
Zhou Haorui had to pay attention to it. He went to the drugstore and bought a bottle of Dieda ointment to apply. However, after a few days of application, the symptoms were still aggravating.
Even sometimes he will suddenly feel dizzy for no reason, sleep is not good, there is no spirit in class, life is affected.
Therefore, Zhou Haorui can only come to the hospital to see the Department of orthopedics, see the attending physician Xiao Gang, let him take an X-ray for examination.
Like many of his contemporaries today, Zhou Haorui is keen on supernatural forces, Tianji Bureau, Gu Jun and so on. But it is also because of this that he is now so nervous, always have a lot of ideas, always feel wrong
Can oneself get what strange disease? Even the initial patient of an epidemic?
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he was. Before he came to the hospital, he had searched the Internet with his symptoms.
Although it is said that the online examination of diseases started with cancer, the more he checked, the more strange and inexplicable feeling he felt. It was a strange feeling from the cervical spine
The more you look at this rare disease called progressive muscular ossification, the stronger the sense of strangeness.
It was as if I saw my own death date on the calendar.
"Zhou Haorui." At this point, the electronic calling system called his name.
At the door of Dr. Xiao Gang's consulting room, a patient walked out slowly on crutches.
Zhou Haorui quickly got up, took the medical record bag and strode into the clinic. The consulting room is less than 10 square meters. Dr. Xiao is sitting behind his desk, with a nurse helping him. There is also an intern at another desk operating a computer to take charge of the input work.
"Dr. Xiao, I've got the X-ray." Zhou Haorui went up, gave all the medical records to Dr. Xiao and sat down in a chair.
Dr. Xiao Gang is a young man in his thirties. He wears a pair of frameless glasses. He looks at the X-ray film and the results of the report. He quickly says, "mild bone hyperplasia." He looked at the patient, "at ordinary times, we should pay more attention to the protection of the cervical spine. We should watch mobile phones, computers and books properly. You are still young, and the problem is not big. Don't worry too much. I'll give you some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, and then go to the rehabilitation department to cooperate with physiotherapy. "
Bone hyperplasia? Zhou Haorui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the speech. But immediately, the strange feeling came to his mind again
The tingling sensation of the cervical spine seems to tell him that it is not so simple, it is not hyperosteogeny
"Dr. Xiao, I have some questions." Zhou Haorui frowned and asked, he really checked a lot of information, "bone hyperplasia is not the general elderly talent will have it? I've had hyperosteogeny since I was 20 years old. Is that a lot? "
"Not many before, but more and more now." Dr. Xiao's attitude is very good, and full doctor-patient communication can make the patient look good. He patiently explained: "because modern people's life and work will cause a great burden on the joints and cervical vertebrae, the disease of hyperosteogeny is becoming younger. This needs your personal long-term care and protection. "
Is that right? Zhou Haorui thinks that he does bow his head and play mobile phones a lot, but he also plays a lot. The key is still that strange feeling.
This makes him still can't help but ask: "Dr. Xiao, look at my situation, is there any possibility of progressive muscle ossification?"
"What?" Dr. Xiao was stunned. The nurse beside him and the intern on the other side seemed to be stunned. Dr. Xiao doubted: "progressive myoossification?"
Dr. Xiao really had to think about it before he remembered that there was such a rare disease, "Oh, progressive muscular ossification How to say... "
Zhou Haorui listened nervously. Dr. Xiao indicated the X-ray film to him and said, "you see, bone hyperplasia on the X-ray image will show a wide bottom and thin tip protuberance. This position of your cervical spine is a typical hyperosteogeny.""Well." Zhou Haorui looks at the white bone on the X-ray film. Although he is nodding, he really can't understand.
"What's more, progressive muscular ossification..." Dr. Xiao put down the X-ray, or had to use the computer on his desk to search for information, and then asked, "do you have a family history of this disease?"
"No Zhou Haorui shook his head and said, "I know this is a genetic disease, but I see that most cases are caused by new gene mutations..."
"I think you know a lot about the disease." Dr. Shaw is also patient. "You know that the incidence rate of this rare disease is estimated at 1/2000000, which has been confirmed in the last century from around 800 cases in the world. Two cases have been confirmed in China. This disease is a congenital disease. The patient usually gets sick before he is 10 years old. "
Dr. Xiao looked at several pathological pictures on the computer screen and said: "the disease does not begin with bone hyperplasia. If it suddenly breaks out, it is a tumor like mass on imaging. Because it is a gene mutation that results in the ossification of fibrous tissues including muscles, tendons and ligaments of the body spontaneously or in the case of trauma, forming secondary skeletons. These heterotopic secondary skeletons are permanently fused with the original normal main bones, resulting in limited joint movement. Finally, the whole human body is full of bones and becomes unable to move like a stone. I don't worry about the fibrotic tissue around the cervical vertebra. I don't need to see the tumor around the cervical vertebrae
"Well Dr. Shaw, absolutely not? " Zhou Haorui asked, knowing that the doctor would not be full of words, but wanted to get a guarantee.
"You don't have the symptoms right now." Dr. Xiao solemnly said, "it's not possible from the probability. But I don't know if it will happen in the future
Zhou Haorui can't rest assured to grasp his head and touch his neck. He feels pain, stiffness and strange feeling
As Dr. Xiao said, there seems to be bone growing
Fibrosis, ossification, fossilization
