Generally, the discomfort may be caused by peripheral sensory disturbances, physical overexertion, or similar reasons. If symptoms are mild, patients can start by taking anti-inflammatory medication to relieve discomfort. Massage and regulation in daily life may also help, and acupuncture treatment can be used when necessary. It is advisable to visit a hospital for examination. Patients should also pay attention to keeping warm in daily life, as poor blood circulation can cause pain. Massaging acupoints such as Quchi (LI11) and Neiguan (PC6) may be beneficial.
