Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 535 Warm Acupuncture

Xu Weiwei smiled with relief and said, "It's not that simple. I don't know what disease you have, so how dare I give you an injection rashly."

"Tell me where you feel uncomfortable."

The old man dragged the sofa over and sat down next to Xu Weiwei: "I have the same problem with my legs as your grandmother. When I was young, a giant monkey bit my kneecap and broke it. I didn't get treatment in time, and I got cold, so I got the disease."

Xu Weiwei felt very disappointed.

The old man said it was as simple as falling down while playing, but in fact, each step is not a trivial matter. Put it together, it is a blessing to be able to save the leg. It is impossible to fully recover.

This is different from my grandmother's case. One is inflammation caused by autoimmune disease, and the other is trauma. Inflammation can subside, but the trauma caused by comminuted fractures is irreversible.

"Which leg is injured?" Xu Weiwei wanted to see the affected area.

The old man first pulled up his left trouser leg, then took off his knee pads and put them aside, leaving his knees completely exposed.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the joints there were severely deformed, and the entire body was turned outward. The surface of the muscle was uneven, with scars of varying depths coiled on it like a centipede.

One can imagine how cruel and bloody the scene was.

Xu frowned slightly and closed his eyes, then began his routine.

"How long has this been going on?"

"Two and a half years."

“Will I get morning stiffness if I wake up early?”

"meeting."

"How long will it last?"

"About half an hour."

"Does the pain occur at night when you sleep, when you go up and down stairs, or when the weather changes? Is it more severe than usual?"

"Correct!"

"Can you straighten your legs? Move them a little, and I'll see how far you can stretch them."

……

Although it had nothing to do with them, everyone listened very carefully. After a few questions, they already felt Xu Weiwei's professionalism, including the bearded old man who was seeing the patient.

His feelings are more intuitive than others.

Every question asked by the little girl from the Sivers family hit the nail on the head, without him having to say anything, and it seemed as if her questions were only for confirmation.

This surprised and puzzled him. It was like someone took a look at the question and came up with the answer directly, and then worked backwards from the answer.

After asking this question, Xu Weiwei's mood became a little solemn.

Traumatic arthritis, also known as traumatic arthritis, is a degenerative joint disease caused by fractures, cartilage damage, ligament tears, etc. The main manifestations are joint pain, stiffness and dysfunction.

The grandfather in front of me is already in the late stage of the disease.

Seeing her expression, the old man's heart sank and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

After so many injections and medications, he should have given up. What could a little girl do if experts and professors couldn't solve the problem? He should have known this long ago, but he couldn't help but keep a glimmer of hope.

Sighing, he said boldly: "It doesn't matter if it can't be cured. When the day comes when I can't walk anymore, I'll just amputate it and replace it with a mechanical leg that will work just as well."

"It's not easy for a little girl to know so much." He praised, "I underestimated you at the beginning. It was my fault."

As he spoke, he reached for the crutch beside him.

This time I'm really ready to leave.

"I didn't say it can't be cured." Xu Weiwei said.

The old man had raised his butt halfway, but when he heard this, he suddenly stopped and fell onto the sofa. He opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief, "What did you say...what did you say?"

"Little girl, do you think his illness can be cured?"

"Can you really cure it?!"

Others couldn't wait to confirm with Xu Weiwei. Rather than being concerned about other people's conditions, it was more like seeing hope for themselves.

If this girl can handle this, then wouldn't theirs be easier to handle?

"Don't be happy too soon. Just because I say it can be cured doesn't mean it can be restored to its previous healthy state. To be honest, it's impossible for such a serious injury to have no sequelae." Xu Weiwei reminded.

"But I can help save the leg and prevent it from getting worse. I can't guarantee how it will recover."

In just five minutes, the old man's heart went through ups and downs, and then gradually calmed down. Hearing Xu Weiwei say this, he smiled and said, "I know, the doctor has told me countless times. I am lucky to be able to save it."

"It surprised me that……"

The words were half said, but everyone present understood the unfinished meaning. They looked at Xu Weiwei and felt a sense of respect in their hearts.

"How should I treat it? With acupuncture like your grandmother did?" The old man looked eager to try.

"more than."

Xu Weiwei thought for a moment and said, "Your condition is more complicated, and it will be more difficult to treat."

If the meridians are damaged, the qi and blood are stagnant, and there is wind-cold-dampness arthralgia, you can take Shentong Zhuyu Decoction and Duhuo Jishe Decoction internally. But she didn't have all the herbs she needed, so Xu Weiwei didn't mention it, and only said: "The hospital should have prescribed you anti-inflammatory analgesics, and you can take them normally."

"Acupuncture is done every three days. In addition, pepper and moxa leaves are boiled in water to fumigate the affected knee. The frequency is once a day or once every two days."

"You should have peppercorns at home, but I don't have mugwort leaves. Tell me the address and I'll have the driver deliver it to you later."

"No need! I'll go get it directly!" The old man waved his hand and refused.

He is not thick-skinned enough to be that shameless.

"Okay. Then I'll give you acupuncture now."

Xu Weiwei turned around and told the housekeeper: "Please prepare moxa sticks, lighters, scissors, thick paper, alcohol and cotton swabs for me."

These are very common, and the housekeeper found and delivered them quickly.

A circle of people moved forward in unison, surrounding the two men in the middle, wanting to watch the operation up close. Those in the inner circle simply sat cross-legged on the carpet.

The three members of the Capet family couldn't help but be curious. It sounded like Wei'er's treatment this time was different from the previous ones.

Xu Weiwei dipped a cotton swab in alcohol and disinfected the area where she would receive the injection. She then cut the moxa stick into 2-cm small pieces and cut the cardboard into round pieces.

After completing the preparations, she did not give the old man time to prepare himself mentally and started inserting the needles one after another.

She knew that given the quality of the older generation of veterans, this little pain was nothing.

Sure enough, the old man remained calm, didn’t even cry out in pain, and even looked a little dazed, as if to say, “That’s it?”

Everyone who had been paying close attention couldn't help but ask, "How is it? How do you feel?"

The old man carefully experienced it and gave this sentence:

"It doesn't hurt as much as a butt shot."

"Oh, that's not bad, that's not bad..." Everyone was completely convinced. Their companions would not deceive them.

After the acupuncture was completed, Xu Weiwei reached out to the pile of moxa sticks, inserted them into the needle handle one by one, lit them, and placed thick paper under the acupuncture site.

Everyone suddenly realized and frowned. They understood, but not completely.

The round paper must be used to collect ashes to prevent burning embers from burning the skin. But what is that "cigar"-like thing? Is it aromatherapy?

Burning incense while curing illness? That's too elegant...

"This is called warm acupuncture." Xu Weiwei explained after everything was done.

“It can enhance the effect of acupuncture, promote local blood circulation through warm stimulation, and relieve muscle tension and pain.”

"Oh~~~"

"Just like bee venom therapy, it's equivalent to adding a buff on the original basis, right?" McQueen asked with a raised eyebrow.

"It can be understood this way."

"Try this treatment first. If it doesn't work, I'll switch to electroacupuncture." Xu Weiwei turned to the old man and said.

Everyone couldn't help but feel their skin tighten. It was the bee venom, the burning fire, and the electric shock...

Rather than curing the disease, it really is more like forcing a confession...
