顾安中是广德人，长期患有香港脚（足部肿痛、筋脉拘急之病），导致筋脉拘挛、腿部肿胀，无法行走。后来他到湖州，乘船时，船上有一袋物品让他垫在酸痛的腿下，他随即把腿搁在袋子上，感觉疼痛稍微减轻，且筋脉变得舒缓不再拘急。于是他便询问船工袋子里装的是什么，船工回答说：“是宣瓜。”从此，他的香港脚立刻痊愈了。（出自《名医录》）
有人患病双足，不能行走抬举，去求医于华佗。华佗远远望见他说：“你已经饱受了针灸和服药的治疗，不需要再诊脉了。”便让人解开衣服，在背部点了数十处穴位，这些穴位之间的距离有的是一寸，有的是五寸。华佗说：“即使邪气位置不相当，灸这里各十壮，疮口愈合后就能行走了。”后来，在灸过的地方，沿着脊柱两侧一寸的上下范围，身体变得端正笔直，匀称调和，就像拉直的绳子一样。（出自《汉书·华佗传》）
对于筋断裂后又重新接续的情况，取旋覆花的根，绞取汁液，将断筋相对，用汁液涂抹并包扎固定，筋就会像原来一样重新连接。蜀地的儿童如果经常奔跑跳跃，容易刻伤筋脉，常用这种方法来接续筋脉，百无一失。
当时康祖大夫患有心漏（心脏部位形成的瘘管，长期流脓血）二十年，胸口有多个孔窍，血液和脓液长期流出。多次拜访名医，都说不可治疗；有人说孔窍多则损伤严重，若闭合则担心邪气流向其他旁支穴位，建议保留一两个作为泄邪之道，这算是上策。因此，他的形体和精神都极度憔悴疲惫，又积聚了严重的腰痛，行走时弯腰驼背。他不饮酒，即使是鸡、鱼、蟹、蛤等食物也都不吃。淳熙四年，通判温州的郡守韩子温见到他，心生怜悯，为他查阅《圣惠方》，书中记载了腰痛一门分为冷证和热证两种，让他自己选择。康祖回答说：“我年老体弱，怎么敢认为是热证？起初是因为寒冷致病而进行治疗。”于是选取了一个含有鹿茸的方子服用。过了十天，疼痛减轻，并且感觉气息平和舒畅。于是他一心专服此药，完全摒弃了其他药物。等到一个多月后，腰部又能弯曲伸展，不再有呼痛之声，心漏也痊愈了。告诉医生们，大家都不能推测出其中的原因。此后九年，康祖从镇江通判任满秩后入朝拜访韩子温，则精力比从前加倍，饮食起居无所禁忌，步履轻快敏捷。据说漏症痊愈之后，一天比一天好。韩子温的书吏吴汝弼也苦于这种疾病，便向康祖求药服用，十二天后便痊愈了。这个方子原本只是治疗腰痛的，使用鹿茸（去毛，用酥炙至微黄）、附子（炮制，去皮脐）各二两，盐花三分，研为细末，用枣肉制成丸药，每次三十丸，空腹时用酒送下。（出自《己志》）
Gu Anzhong, a native of Guangde, suffered for a long time from Hongxiangjiao (a disease characterized by swelling and pain in the feet with tendon contraction), which resulted in tendon cramping and leg swelling, rendering him unable to walk. Upon arriving in Huzhou, he boarded a boat where there was a bag containing an item that alleviated the soreness and pain in his legs. He placed his leg on the bag and felt the pain slightly subside, and the tendons relaxed without tension. He then asked the boatman what was in the bag, who replied, "Xuan Gua" (a type of melon). Thereafter, his Hongxiangjiao was instantly cured. (From *Mingyi Lu*)
A patient suffered from bilateral foot paralysis, unable to walk or lift his legs, and sought treatment from Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo observed him from afar and said, "You have already undergone extensive acupuncture and herbal medication; there is no need to check your pulse." He instructed the patient to undress and applied moxibustion to dozens of points on the back. The distance between these points varied from one cun to five cun. Hua Tuo stated, "Even if the pathogenic factors are not evenly distributed, applying ten moxa cones to each point will suffice. Once the sores heal, you will be able to walk." Subsequently, along the area one cun lateral to the spine, extending up and down from the moxa sites, the patient's posture became straight and balanced, as taut as a drawn string. (From *Book of Han: Biography of Hua Tuo*)
For cases of severed tendons being reconnected, take the root of *Inula japonica* (Xuanfu Gen), extract its juice, align the severed ends of the tendon, apply the juice, and bandage it. The tendon will reconnect as before. Children in Shu often injure their tendons through running and jumping; this method is used to reconnect them with a success rate of nearly 100%.
At that time, Doctor Kang Zu suffered from Xinlou (a fistula near the heart leaking blood and pus) for twenty years. Several orifices on his chest leaked blood and pus continuously. Many renowned physicians declared it incurable; some suggested that closing too many orifices might cause pathogens to divert to other channels, recommending keeping one or two open as the best strategy. Consequently, his physical and mental state became severely depleted. He also suffered from chronic lower back pain, walking with a stooped posture. He abstained from alcohol and avoided foods such as chicken, fish, crab, and clams. In the fourth year of Chunxi, Han Ziwen, the Prefect of Wenzhou and Tongpan, saw him with pity. Han consulted the *Shenghui Fang*, which categorized lower back pain into cold and heat syndromes, and advised Kang to choose accordingly. Kang replied, "I am old and emaciated; how could I claim it is a heat syndrome? It originated from cold." He selected a prescription containing Lurong (Deer Antler Glue) and took it. After ten days, the pain decreased, and he felt a sense of vitality and comfort. He then exclusively took this medicine, discarding all others. After more than a month, his waist regained flexibility, he no longer cried out in pain, and the Xinlou healed. Physicians were baffled by the outcome. Nine years later, after completing his term as Tongpan of Zhenjiang, Kang visited Han Ziwen at court. His energy was doubled compared to before; he had no dietary restrictions, and his gait was light and agile. It was said that after the fistula healed, his condition improved daily. Wu Rubi, a clerk under Han Ziwen, also suffered from this ailment and requested the medicine from Kang. He recovered after twelve days. This prescription originally treated only lower back pain. It consisted of Lurong (Deer Antler Glue, hair removed, fried in butter until slightly yellow) and Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root, skin and umbilicus removed), each two liang, and Yanhua (Salt Flower), three fen, ground into powder. These were formed into pills using jujube paste, thirty pills per dose, taken orally with wine on an empty stomach. (From *Ji Zhi*)
