The symptoms of various pains are diverse. The affected areas vary among the whole body's bones and joints, shoulders, back, arms, neck, spine, waist, ribs, chest (Xinshan), and lower abdomen. The causes for generating phlegm differ due to wind-cold, damp-heat, dryness, fire, as well as differences between phlegm, blood stasis, accumulated qi, and qi stagnation. If pain is widespread throughout the entire body, it usually indicates the presence of Fire pathogen, or that the patient is a drinker who has had damp-phlegm accumulation internally for a long time, and is now invaded by wind-cold pathogens. This prevents the phlegm from circulating freely, causing it to accumulate in the meridians and joints. Over time, it condenses and stagnates without dispersing. It becomes depressed in the shoulders, back, neck, spine, waist, ribs, and arms. If there is no swelling, there is pain. One must massage and beat the area so that heat reaches the site, and the pain will stop. Therefore, current cases of back pain are mostly due to phlegm stagnation; it is evident that they require hundreds or thousands of beats before the stagnation can disperse. Otherwise, one must distinguish between three conditions: Phlegm (Tan), Saliva (Xian), and Fluid Retention (Yin). When Dampness pathogen floats up to the Lung, obstructing Qi and causing cough, when it manifests, it is called Phlegm. When Dampness gathers in the Spleen, overflows to the mouth with Qi, and flows out uncontrollably, it is called Saliva. When the Stomach is attacked by Dampness, resulting in vomiting, retching, or hiccups, it is called Fluid Retention. These distinctions must not be overlooked. However, the general principle is to overcome dampness, eliminate phlegm, regulate Qi, harmonize Blood, and nourish the Spleen.

Furthermore, after eating, if injured by cold Qi leading to fever and body pain, this is Body Pain due to Food Injury, and should be treated with digestion-promoting methods. If the six pulses are floating and tight, accompanied by nasal congestion, heavy body, headache, coarse breathing, fever, and body pain, this is Body Pain due to Cold Damage (Shanghan) or Wind Strike (Shangfeng), and should be treated with exterior-releasing methods. If body pain occurs after sweating or purging during illness, this is due to Qi and Blood deficiency, and should be treated with regulation and tonification. For headache and Head Wind (Toufeng), the primary method is dispersion. Heart pain is equivalent to Epigastric Pain; whether due to old diseases, new external cold invasion, or accumulated phlegm, the primary method is to open depression and resolve phlegm. Abdominal pain and waist/rib pain should be treated with warming meridians and dispelling cold, focusing on clearing heat and removing dampness. If excessive diet injures the Spleen Qi internally, use digestion-promoting methods. Regarding painful urination, one must ask if urination is smooth or difficult. Smooth urination indicates Blood Stasis (Xuexu); difficult urination indicates Urinary Difficulty (Niao Se). Sudden severe pain indicates Cold pathogen invasion; intermittent pain indicates Fire pathogen. In women, the lower abdomen is the Sea of Chong and Ren meridians. Upon exposure to cold, Qi and Blood coagulate and strike each other, causing pain. With warmth, Qi harmonizes and flows, and pain stops naturally. Additionally, injuries from sexual intercourse in the Bao Luo (uterine network) and Yin Hu (vaginal opening), or external cold suppression, can also cause pain. At the very end of the buttocks, there is what is called Kaogu Pain (coccygeal pain), which differs based on phlegm obstruction, Blood deficiency, or Dead Blood (severe stasis). Students should examine these details carefully.
