WEN Weiqiang's Experience in Treating Polymyalgia Rheumatica
Patients with polymyalgia rheumatica often seek quick relief from"morning stiffness and pain in the neck,shoulders,and pelvic girdle muscles"as their primary complaint.The condition relapses,seriously affecting the patient's physical and mental health.Chief Physician Wen Weiqiang believes that the core pathogenesis of the disease is spleen and kidney yang deficiency.Deficiency of kidney yang means that the muscles and bones cannot be nourished.Deficiency of the spleen will lead to poor health,insufficient Qi and blood,and the limbs cannot be nourished."With-out prosperity,there will be pain";The spleen ascends and the stomach descends as the pivot of the whole body's Qi movement.The spleen fails to transport and transform water,resulting in phlegm and dampness,which blocks the col-laterals.The spleen fails to move well,the liver fails to relieve diarrhea,Qi stagnation and blood stasis,and venous sta-sis are blocked,resulting in paralysis.As time goes by,phlegm,dampness and blood stasis lurk inside,which is the root cause of recurring disease.In treatment,emphasis is placed on the method of clearing away evil spirits,nourishing the kidneys,strengthening the spleen,activating blood and clearing away evil spirits.The clinical efficacy is remarkable.
