Since the diagnosis is clear, the next step is to follow the proposed treatment plan. However, chronic pain cannot be cured in a day or two. While treating the root cause, pain relief should also be considered to address both symptoms and underlying issues.
In the past few days, Li Min has been reading a lot of specialized books and papers on pain during his free time at work, acquiring much knowledge in this area.
On Friday afternoon, after a busy week, Yang Ping asked Song Zimo to gather the department's doctors in the meeting room for a discussion-based study session, with the theme being "atypical pain."
This type of pain is very common in clinical practice but often not treated well. After much examination, the cause still remains unclear, and in the end, it's treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, and rest. If effective, great; if not, there aren't many alternatives.
