"Although the doctor didn't say it clearly, the meaning was already obvious. My father, a big man, cried at that time... "The boy's eyes also turned red.
"The child is so depressed that he can't even eat. He's not interested in what he likes. The whole person......" the young man's mother couldn't go on.
"Didn't go to the cancer hospital later?" Guo Xiang asked. I didn't see the medical records of the cancer hospital.
The young man and her mother looked at each other. "I don't dare to go."
Guo Xiang can't laugh or cry. This is hiding from the doctor.
"That may not be bone cancer. How do you know if you don't check it clearly?" Guo Xiang said.
"We were just afraid. Later, I heard that your doctors are of high level and wanted to come here to have a look. We really can't do it and have to be treated, can't we?" Said the young man's mother.
Guo Xiang nodded, "let me check."
Let the young man lie on the sickbed, put his hands on his knees, and fight with his hands and legs.
"How's it going?" Asked Guo Xiang.
"It still hurts." Said the young man.
Guo Xiang frowned, "do you have a fever or other uncomfortable places during this time?"
"No." The young man shook his head.
That's not right. If it's bone cancer, it's likely to have a fever.
"Still do an examination, do whole body bone imaging." Guo Xiang said that there is always a reason for the pain.
Guo Xiang billed, "draw another blood."
Blood drawing mainly depends on the white blood cells in the blood. If the white blood cells are high, there may be inflammation. If it's really a blood disease, you can see it.
So a series of profit inspections were arranged.
Many tests were done, and the results could not be obtained until the next day. The young man stayed in the hospital all night.
When Guo Xiang came to work the next day, the inspection results had been sent.
Guo Xiang took a piece and looked carefully on the light box, "no problem."
"Didn't you say bone marrow edema?" Asked the young man's mother.
"Yes, but it can't be diagnosed as bone marrow cancer." Guo Xiang said.
Guo Xiang looked at other checklists and found that they were all OK.
"Nothing unusual." Guo Xiang said.
"How is that possible?" The young man's mother was surprised, "but doctors in other hospitals said..."
"I only believe in the examination done by my own hospital." Guo Xiang said, "but this edema is a little problem, but it is definitely not bone marrow cancer."
However, she is not so familiar with orthopedics, but Ji Changlin is strong in this field. Do you want to ask him?
"But I really hurt, not for psychological reasons. There's always a reason for the pain for a long time?" The young man was also very confused. The conference said it was OK. He was naturally happy, but the pain was real. He was afraid that the doctor would say it was OK like previous doctors. As a result, he asked them to go to the cancer hospital for further examination.
"In this way, our hospital has a highly skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor, especially good at orthopedics. I'll let you go and have a look?" Guo Xiang said.
"OK!" The young man's mother nodded. At this time, the dead horse should be treated as a living horse.
Guo Xiang took the two to the TCM clinic, just as Ji Changlin had a visit today.
When he arrived, Ji Changlin was prescribing a prescription for a patient. Guo Xiang waited at the door for a while. The patient went out and took someone in.
"Master, I have a patient here. Other hospitals have diagnosed that there is a problem with his pubic bone, but it seems that there is no problem after our examination. Why don't you show him?" Guo Xiang said.
"OK, come here!" Ji Changlin nodded.
Ji Changlin also asked why he was uncomfortable as usual. The young man said that his pubis hurt and it hurts when he walks.
"Lie down and let me see!" Ji Changlin said.
The young man was lying on the clinic bed. Ji Changlin folded his leg up, moved it, and then pressed it gently.
"Come and take another pulse."
The young man got up and went back to the chair outside. Ji Changlin took his pulse and frowned slightly.
"You stand up and take a few steps inside and outside. I'll see." Ji Changlin added.
The young man stood up, walked out, walked outside and came back. The corners of his mouth pulled, as if it hurt badly.
"All right!" Ji Changlin said, "sit down and have a rest."
"Did you exercise too much?" Ji Changlin asked.
"How do you know, doctor?" The young man was surprised. He didn't say he was an athlete when he came in just now.
"I can see it." Ji Changlin smiled, "is my doctor for decades white?"
As soon as the young man's mother came down, "doctor, what disease do you say my son has? Is it a muscle strain? "
"No, he has a pubic fracture." Ji Changlin said.
"It's impossible. I don't know whether I've fallen or not? Never had a fracture. " The young man doesn't believe it.
Ji Changlin smiled gently, "if you haven't fallen, it doesn't mean you won't fracture. You're exercising too much. Quantitative change causes qualitative change."
Guo Xiang smiled. Master also knows philosophy.
"But MRI and CT didn't show a fracture, but the bone marrow was swollen." Guo Xiang said.
"This kind of fracture is extremely subtle. You may not be able to get it through those examinations. You use more good machines to form inertial thinking. When there was no MRI before, what was the use to judge whether there was a fracture?" Ji Changlin asked.
"X-ray machine..." Guo Xiang replied.
"Yes, the X-ray machine is more obvious. Enron, he should only have a fine crack, which may be difficult to see. Moreover, after dragging for so long, he has proliferated and periosteal edema. It's understandable that you can't see it." Ji Changlin said.
Guo Xiang blushed. Yes, he seems to rely too much on those high-end machines and forget the most basic ones.
"It's a fracture. Of course it hurts, but it's not serious. It's easy to treat." Ji Changlin said to the young man, "don't worry. I'll prescribe you a medicine for internal and external application. You can be cured in half a month."
"Really?" The young man and his mother were overjoyed.
"Really, I don't believe you can do another X-ray and have a closer look." Ji Changlin said.
They did it naturally. They did so much inspection, and it's not bad for this one.
So I took another film and did it very carefully. When the film was washed out, there was a very thin crack.
Because of some hyperplasia, the surface of bone is a little rough and not obvious, so it is easy to be misdiagnosed.
Guo Xiang remembered that this should be a fatigue fracture.
Because I'm not good at orthopedics, I didn't remember just now.
The young man is an athlete, and because there is a competition, he practices hard. He exercises too much, which leads to fatigue fracture.
Because he had never fallen, he never thought about the fracture himself.
Unexpectedly, bone marrow edema caused by fracture led to misdiagnosis by doctors in several hospitals.
He was afraid to go to the cancer hospital. As a result, he was worried about gain and loss, creating the current situation.
Fatigue fractures are often caused by long-term non physiological stress in the bone system. There is no typical history of trauma in clinic. Early X-ray plain film is usually negative, so it is easy to miss diagnosis or misdiagnosis.
This disease often occurs in the army, especially in recruits. Recruits are inexperienced and are easy to suffer from sudden increase in exercise, so it is also called marching fracture.
Finding the reason, the young man and his mother were relieved. They were very grateful to the old traditional Chinese medicine. Unexpectedly, the disease that had plagued them for so long was easily found out by a traditional Chinese medicine. They had known to see the traditional Chinese medicine earlier.
Because it's not bad and serious, there's no need to put on plaster. Ji Changlin prescribed medicine. Guo Xiang told them to have a good rest and supplement more calcium and vitamin D. they should be well soon.
They left the hospital with a thousand thanks.
