Yangtze River ** Wuhan Client, January 31 - In the park, it is common to see some elderly people hitting trees with their backs for fitness, and it is said that this "new" fitness method can invigorate blood and eliminate stasis, and also strengthen muscles and bones. However, recently, an octogenarian woman in Wuhan broke her thoracic vertebrae.
88-year-old Grandma Liu is in good health on weekdays and likes to be fashionable. Not long ago, I heard the old sisters who exercised together in the park say that hitting the tree can play a role in invigorating blood and removing stasis, strengthening muscles and bones. Grandma Liu, who is addicted to health preservation, specially picked a sunny day with a suitable temperature to "hit the tree" in the park. Within two days, she began to have backache, thinking that the fitness "worked" and didn't pay much attention to it, and insisted on hitting a tree in the park every day. After a week, she found that she was in pain and couldn't get out of bed, so she went to the hospital for a check-up accompanied by her family.
The doctor examines the **.
In the Pain Department of the Gutian Campus of Wuhan Fourth Hospital, the attending doctor Wang Li carefully inquired about the medical history and completed the relevant examinations for her. Through the image results, Wang Li found that Grandma Liu's thoracic vertebrae were broken! "I didn't knock or touch, in order to strengthen my muscles and bones and fitness, why did I still break my bones? At first, Grandma Liu didn't believe the doctor's diagnosis, and it wasn't until Wang Li asked her what kind of exercise she usually did that she suddenly remembered: "I shouldn't have hit a tree and broken it, right?" ”
Recalling his "fitness road", after hitting it for a few days, I really felt that my body seemed to be "lighter", so I felt that it was useful, and I continued to insist on hitting it every day, and I had to ensure that I hit it strongly. Now that I think about it, the growing pain in my body is indeed something that happened after hitting a tree.
When she heard that she was going to have surgery, Grandma Liu was very resistant at first, fearing that the surgery would affect her return to her hometown for the New Year. "Grandma, our surgical plan guarantees that you will not be delayed to go home for the New Year. The surgery team of the pain department of the Gutian campus of the hospital customized a minimally invasive surgery plan for Grandma Liu, which only needed to open a 2 mm hole on each side of the back, send a "small balloon" to the fracture through a puncture needle, and then re-prop up the flattened vertebral body after inflation, and then inject a kind of "bone cement" that can be quickly hardened into this cavity like squeezing toothpaste, which can not only quickly relieve pain after surgery, but also quickly strengthen the vertebral body.
After the operation, Grandma Liu's pain was immediately relieved, and she was able to get out of bed and walk the next morning.
According to Zhou Ling, director of the pain department of the Gutian branch of the hospital, the elderly are relatively relaxed, the capillaries are relatively fragile, and the bones are relatively loose, and long-term collisions may cause body damage. Director Zhou reminded that when the elderly are exercising, the exercise intensity should not be too large, the range of action should not be too violent, and they can choose to walk slowly on the flat road. If you have symptoms of unexplained low back pain or limited mobility, you should go to the hospital immediately and do not massage or move at will to avoid further damage to the body.
