[Da] The Kidney governs the lower back and feet. When meridian injury occurs due to overexertion, deficiency allows Wind-Cold pathogens to invade, resulting in lower back pain; when Cold Qi invades the abdomen due to deficiency, abdominal pain occurs. Thus, the lower back and abdomen are drawn together in pain. If the pain persists, it may disturb the fetal qi. In women, the Kidney connects to the Bao Palace (uterus). During pregnancy, severe lower back pain indicates impending miscarriage.
[Xue] For the aforementioned conditions caused by external pathogens, use Duhuo Jisheng Tang (Notopterygium and Sangjisheng Decoction). (For miscellaneous disease lower back pain,) if Qi and Yuan are damaged by overexertion, use Bazhen Tang (Eight Treasures Decoction), Duzhong, Sharen, and Jiao'ai Tang. For Spleen and Kidney insufficiency, add Baizhu and Buguzhi to the previous formulas. For Qi and Blood stagnation, use Zisu Yin (Perilla Infusion) with Jiegeng and Zhike. For Liver Fire agitation, use Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction [Shaoyang syndrome of Cold Damage]) with Baizhu, Zhike, and Shanzhi. For Liver-Spleen depression and knotting, use Guipi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction [for forgetfulness in miscellaneous diseases]) with Chaihu and Zhike.
A pregnant woman presented with stiffness of the neck and back and pain in the lower back and back. This was caused by Wind pathogens in the Bladder Meridian. She was cured after one dose of Bacui Qianghuo Tang (Extraction of羌活 Decoction [for lower back pain in miscellaneous diseases]); subsequently, she recovered after using Duhuo Jisheng Tang and Bazhen Tang to dispel pathogens and consolidate the root.
Shishan treated a woman at eight months of pregnancy who suffered from lower back pain preventing her from turning or moving, accompanied by dry and hard stools. Physicians used tonics such as Renshen (Ginseng), which exacerbated the pain. They then used purgatives containing Xiaoshi (Niter) and Dahuang (Rhubarb); although the constipation resolved, the pain remained. Wang diagnosed a slightly surging and rapid pulse, stating this indicated Heat in the Blood and Blood stasis. He prescribed Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) with Muxiang, Rushi (Frankincense), Moyao (Myrrh), Huangbai, and Huomaren. After four to five doses, the pain decreased slightly, and the stool became moist. Later, fever, red face, and occasional chills appeared. Wang retained the previous formula but removed Rushi and Moyao, adding Chaihu and Huangqin. After two doses, the chills and fever subsided. Then, coldness was felt in the upper back, and lower back pain recurred. Wang stated: "The Blood has now circulated; add one qian of Renshen to the previous formula," after which she stabilized.
Jiang Huangnan treated a woman at three months of pregnancy who suffered from lower back pain, lower abdominal pain, and bleeding due to sprain and trauma, with internal Heat. He prescribed Danggui, Baizhu, and Huangqin on top; Shudi, Chuanxiong, Fangfeng, and Sharen in the middle; Aiyeh on top; and Xiangfu at the bottom, decocted in water. After the bleeding stopped and abdominal pain ceased, Sharen was removed. She was then cured after eating three egg yolks beaten with wine and cooked.
