（附脊痛）
股居一身之下。众阴之所归。而其所以作痛者。三经受病也。足太阴脾经主肉。足厥阴
肝经
主筋。足少阴肾经主骨。脾经受湿。下流于股。则肉酸疼。肝经受寒。下及于股。则筋挛急
痛。肾经受寒下注于股。则骨髓冷痛。其痛各有所属也。而可以一概治之乎。设使筋挛急痛
。
误以为湿而用燥剂治之。则燥尽其血。而筋失所养。其痛愈甚。必投以养血之剂。则筋自舒
而不挛急矣。使骨髓冷痛。误以为湿。而用燥药治之。则燥尽其髓。而骨空虚。其空愈加于
痛。必投之以补髓之剂则骨气充而无所苦矣。使肉内酸痛。单用热药。而不用燥剂。肉得热
而融活。固有微效。而湿留于中。何时而去。必以热药为向导。而以燥剂君之。以血药佐之
。则湿可去而血亦不枯。此万全之法也。若妇人产后或患股痛。乃恶血流于经络也。要当以
热药为向导。而以活血之剂君之。以行气之药佐之则愈。若误以为湿。而投燥剂。则不惟股
中之血易干。而一身之血亦病矣。若误以为寒。而投热药。则血得热而行。犹为庶几然。大
热之剂。亦未可轻用。慎之慎之。

（附：脊痛）
大腿位于人体下部，是众多阴经汇聚之处。导致其疼痛的原因，是三经受邪所致。足太阴脾经主管肌肉，足厥阴肝经主管筋脉，足少阴肾经主管骨骼。脾经受湿邪侵袭，湿气下流至大腿，则肌肉出现酸疼；肝经受寒邪侵袭，寒气下及大腿，则筋脉拘挛急痛；肾经受寒邪侵袭，寒气下注于大腿，则骨髓感到冷痛。这些疼痛各有其所属的经络脏腑，怎么能一概而论地治疗呢？
假如筋脉拘挛急痛，误认为是湿邪而使用燥湿药物治疗，那么燥药会耗竭血液，导致筋脉失去滋养，疼痛反而更加严重。此时必须投用养血药物，筋脉自然舒展而不拘挛急痛了。假如骨髓冷痛，误认为是湿邪而使用燥药治疗，那么燥药会耗竭骨髓，导致骨骼空虚，这种空虚感会加剧疼痛。此时必须投用补髓药物，使骨气充盈，痛苦也就消除了。假如肌肉酸痛，单用热药而不用燥剂，肌肉得到热气虽然会有轻微疗效，但湿邪留在体内，何时才能去除？必须以热药作为向导，以燥湿药为主药，以补血药为佐药，这样湿邪可去且血液也不会枯竭。这是万全的治疗方法。
如果是妇女产后患股痛，这是由于恶露流入经络所致。应当以热药作为向导，以活血药物为主药，以行气药物为佐药，病就能痊愈。如果误认为是湿邪而投用燥剂，不仅大腿中的血液容易干枯，全身的血液也会受损。如果误认为是寒邪而投用热药，血液得热而行，还算是尚可的。但是大热的药物也不可轻易使用，务必谨慎，务必谨慎。

(Attached: Spinal Pain)
The thighs are located at the lower part of the body and are the convergence point of numerous Yin meridians. The cause of pain in this region is pathogenic invasion of three meridians. The Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian governs the flesh (muscles), the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian governs the sinews (tendons/ligaments), and the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian governs the bones. When the Spleen Meridian is invaded by Dampness, the dampness flows downward to the thighs, causing soreness and pain in the muscles. When the Liver Meridian is invaded by Cold, the cold descends to the thighs, causing spasmodic and urgent pain in the sinews. When the Kidney Meridian is invaded by Cold, the cold pours downward into the thighs, causing cold pain in the bone marrow. These pains have their specific affiliations; how can they be treated uniformly?
If there is spasmodic and urgent pain in the sinews, mistaking it for Dampness and using drying agents would exhaust the blood, causing the sinews to lose nourishment, thereby exacerbating the pain. In such cases, blood-nourishing agents must be administered so that the sinews naturally relax without spasm. If there is cold pain in the bone marrow, mistaking it for Dampness and using drying agents would exhaust the marrow, leading to emptiness in the bones, which intensifies the pain due to this emptiness. Here, marrow-supplementing agents must be used to fill the Qi of the bones, alleviating the suffering. If there is soreness and pain in the flesh, using only hot herbs without drying agents may provide slight relief as the heat melts and activates the flesh, but the Dampness remains inside, delaying its removal. Therefore, hot herbs should serve as guides, drying agents as the sovereign drugs, and blood-nourishing herbs as assistants. This way, Dampness can be eliminated without depleting the blood. This is a comprehensive method.
In women postpartum, thigh pain arises from lochia flowing into the meridians. Treatment should use hot herbs as guides, blood-activating agents as sovereign drugs, and Qi-moving herbs as assistants for a cure. Mistaking this for Dampness and using drying agents would not only dry the blood in the thighs but also affect the blood throughout the body. Mistaking it for Cold and using hot herbs allows blood to move with heat, which is acceptable; however, strongly heating agents should never be used lightly. Exercise extreme caution.
The pulse in thigh pain is often deep and slow (Chen Chi). A floating and large pulse indicates Wind-Heat.
