Introduction
1. Trauma: The patient is advised to take medications such as Huoxue Zhitong Capsules and Xuefu Zhuyu Pills as directed by a physician to relieve symptoms.
2. Shoulder periarthritis: Under medical guidance, patients may take anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications such as loxoprofen sodium tablets or ibuprofen sustained-release capsules.
3. Cervical disc herniation: Patients should use medications such as dexamethasone injection or prednisone tablets under the guidance of a physician to alleviate discomfort.
Generally speaking, arm meridian pain may be caused by conditions such as trauma, shoulder periarthritis, or cervical disc herniation, and treatment should be based on the underlying cause. A detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Trauma: Intense physical activity or external forces can injure the arm, resulting in meridian pain. Patients are advised to avoid moving the affected limb and may apply appropriate heat therapy to alleviate symptoms. If the pain is severe, patients should follow medical advice to take medications such as Huoxue Zhitong Capsules or Xuefu Zhuyu Pills to relieve pain and promote blood circulation.
2. Shoulder Periarthritis: Degenerative changes in tendons or ligaments surrounding the shoulder joint can cause pain along the arm meridians. Under a doctor's guidance, patients may take anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications such as loxoprofen sodium tablets or ibuprofen sustained-release capsules. For more severe cases, arthroscopic release surgery may be recommended.
3. Cervical Disc Herniation: Protrusion of cervical intervertebral discs may compress or irritate nerves extending to the arm, causing pain in that area. Patients should use medications such as dexamethasone injection or prednisone tablets under medical supervision to relieve discomfort. In some cases, anterior cervical decompression surgery may be necessary.
In addition, conditions such as tendonitis or carpal tunnel syndrome could also be responsible. Patients should seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital.
