A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

Many people's expectation for the surgery is to restore their spine to a normal one, back to the original disease-free state where they could shape it however they want.

But what is the purpose of surgery? The intervertebral disc protrudes outside the annulus fibrosus, loses moisture and hardens. The protrusion, especially a huge protrusion, compresses nerves and blood vessels, which may cause serious consequences: paralysis, urinary incontinence, leg muscle atrophy, etc.

The surgery removed the herniation, temporarily eliminating the danger and temporarily relieving the pain caused by compression. But what caused the herniated disc in the first place is not something that surgery usually covers.

Surgery removes possible dangers, reduces pain, and gives you a chance to get back on track. To get back to normal, you need to do reliable rehabilitation treatment on your own, change your lifestyle and exercise, etc.).

People often say they are afraid of recurrence, which means they think surgery should eradicate the cause of the disease, and once they feel uncomfortable, they attribute it to a recurrence. They will think that there is a high probability of recurrence if they have this surgery, so why should they do it? It will be a waste of money and suffering.

But in the eyes of doctors, the surgery is successful if the surgical site is fixed. As for whether you continue with your original lifestyle and cause problems in other parts of your spine, the hospital where you performed the surgery generally does not care.

In addition, surgery destroys the original body structure and changes the mechanical structure. If you are not careful, the chances of needing surgery again in the future will increase.

However, these may not be considered recurrences by the doctors performing the surgery, because during the surgery, everything that needed to be removed has been removed, which means the problem has been solved.

If the disease relapses later, it is none of his business. Treating the head for a headache and the foot for a foot pain is the most obvious experience in intervertebral disc surgery.

Traditional Chinese medicine classifies lumbar disc herniation as part of the category of low back pain and lumbar arthritis. The pain in the waist and legs is not caused by the poor growth of the lumbar spine, but rather due to meridian blockage, cold stagnation and blood stasis in the waist and legs. In particular, the location of most low back and leg pain is along the route of the gallbladder meridian. Most of the pain is caused by cold in the liver and gallbladder meridians, or liver blood deficiency. If the lumbar spine is full of qi and blood, the yin and yang qi of the lumbar spine will gradually balance, and the herniated lumbar disc will slowly return to its place.

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment generally involves manipulation to reposition the dislocated vertebrae, change the relative position of the protrusion and the nerve roots and spinal cord, and reduce or relieve compression.

The protruding intervertebral disc compresses the nerve roots and spinal cord. The Chinese medicine bone-setting therapy is to reposition the dislocated vertebrae, increase the transverse diameter of the intervertebral foramen and the sagittal diameter of the spinal canal, and increase the volume of the intervertebral foramen and the spinal canal accordingly. It can effectively change the relative position of the protruding nucleus pulposus and nerve roots, and relieve or reduce the compression.

Manual reduction does not necessarily require complete retraction of the nucleus pulposus. As long as the positional relationship between the protrusion and the compressed nerve root is changed and the mechanical compression is reduced or relieved, the patient's clinical symptoms are often greatly improved.

Among them, taking Chinese medicine internally, applying ointments externally, acupuncture, etc. can dredge the meridians, promote the flow of qi and blood, and relieve pain.

Of course, for Zhang Lan, the simplest way is to "save all living beings" and not worry about anything else.

The reason why I said so much nonsense to Zhang Xiangyang was because this disease cannot be cured. There is definitely no problem with treatment, but it will relapse very quickly afterwards.

Most diseases do not fall on a person for no reason. Except for those hereditary genetic diseases that are inevitable, other common sexual diseases are warnings from the body that are constantly overloaded over time.

After taking out a box of acupuncture needles and applying acupuncture to Zhang Xiangyang's waist, Zhang Lan performed a "saving all living beings" exercise on him.

After the acupuncture was removed, Zhang Lan told Zhang Xiangyang that after a few days when his body had almost recovered, he should not forget to go to the nearby Bodhisattva temple to fulfill his wish.

When the phone rang, Zhang Xiangyang was standing up in the room, moving his waist slightly, and telling Zhang Lan about his feelings.

When Zhang Lan's phone rang, Zhang Xiangyang quickly said a few polite words and left.

The call was from Tian Qingyong. After the call was connected, Tian Qingyong asked directly: "Where are you, Zhang Lan? Do you have time to go back to Canghe in the next two days?"

Zhang Lan smiled and said, "I'm at Canghe's house now. What's going on?"

Tian Qingyong on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief: "That's perfect. I want you to check on my old man. The old couple insisted on going back to their hometown to retire a while ago, but it's been less than half a year and he's already come back sick. I want you to check on him and take care of his health. If you don't come back for a while, I'll go to Kyoto."

"Oh, I just got back too. Is it easy for you to move around, old man? How about I drive over there?" Zhang Lan said.

"No, no, it's not a serious matter. It's just that my old illness has come back. As I get older and suffer from the bad times in life, some underlying diseases have flared up. I'll come to your place later and tell you about the situation, and by the way, we brothers can have a meal together." Tian Qingyong said quickly.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at home. How about having dinner here in the evening?" Zhang Lan said with a smile.

"Okay, but you don't have to prepare anything. I'll bring someone with the ingredients later, and we can just wait and eat."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at home."

About half an hour after hanging up the phone, Tian Qingyong drove to Zhang Lan's house.

There was a car following behind with the chef and ingredients. The two people were chatting in the yard while the chef was preparing the barbecue nearby.

Tian Qingyong told Zhang Lan what had happened with a hint of helplessness.

After Tian Qingyong's father Tian Fanli retired, Tian Qingyong's career in Canghe had occasional ups and downs, but most of the time it was smooth sailing.

Even if there are any changes, they are just some conflicts within the family. There are no major external risks.

The old man was kind-hearted and fat. When Canghe was quiet and thought about something, he recalled his childhood in his hometown. Tian Fanli, who had not lived in his hometown for many years, could no longer stop the thought in his heart and wanted to go back to his hometown to live.

Tian Qingyong's mother also thinks that her hometown is better than Canghe. There are many elderly people in the village. She goes back to the countryside to grow vegetables, raise flowers, and feed chickens and ducks. She also says that the air in the countryside is fresh, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is more suitable for retirement than the city.

Zhang Lan couldn't stop laughing when she heard this. Tian Qingyong beside her said helplessly, "What are you laughing at?"

"No, haven't you ever persuaded your mother about this idea? If she just wants to find a yard in the countryside to farm and raise ducks, why not just find a place nearby? She ran so far back to her hometown and hasn't lived there for many years, and her children are not around. In your southern region with strong clan systems, isn't she just waiting to be eaten by others?" Zhang Lan said with a smile.

"Who said that? I told them so too. But it doesn't work. They say that everyone in the village is a familiar uncle or aunt, and they are all on the same family tree. How could they be bullied?" Tian Qingyong complained.
