【附论】
身体疼痛，不是由湿邪就是由痰浊阻滞所致。有人遭受刀锯惊吓，加之体内虚弱，被风寒水湿所伤，导致心窍凝滞，经络壅塞闭阻，血液运行不畅，肠肉骨节因此产生刺痛。治疗方法使用当归、川芎、芍药、白芷、五灵脂、大黄、甘草。服药后排出黑色小片状物，且疼痛不剧烈，即可痊愈。
方剂
治疗背痛的方子。（出自《海上名方》）
用当归二三两，切成薄片，用酒浸泡三天，饮用泡过的酒。酒喝完后，更换新的当归继续浸泡服用，两三日后即可痊愈。
流气饮子（出自《指南方》）治疗背痛，疼痛向外牵连肌肉，牵引背部脾区，时发时止。这是由于营卫之气循行失去常度，流滞于经络，与正气相搏结。发作时症状类似瘫痪。
紫苏叶、青皮、苦梗（桔梗）、当归、芍药、乌药、茯苓、枳壳（去瓤麸炒，一作枳实）、黄芪、川芎、防风（各半两）、甘草（炙）、橘皮（各三分）、陈皮（二两）、大腹子（二两，锉碎后用姜汁炒）、木香（二两）。以上药材锉散。每次服用二盏水，加生姜三片、大枣二枚，煎至一盏，去渣服用。另一版本治疗腰臂痛，含有大黄、橘皮。
拈痛散（出自《御药院方》）洗浴用药。
当归（去芦头）、防风（去芦头）、黑狗脊、骨碎补（均去毛）、藁本（去土）、细辛（去苗土）、赤芍药、自然铜（用酒淬炼七遍）、桂枝（去粗皮）、萆薢（以上各一两）。以上药材捣成粗末。每次取二两，用手帕包好，上面再用热盐包包裹，在疼痛处熨烫。
枳壳煮散（出自《简易方》）治疗因悲哀烦恼导致肝气上逆至两腋，骨痛，筋脉拘急，腰脚沉重，大腿筋脉拘急，两胁牵拉疼痛，四肢不能抬起，逐渐导致背部挛急。对胁痛有极大疗效。
防风、川芎、细辛、枳壳、桔梗（各四钱）、甘草（二钱）、干葛（一钱半）。以上药材切碎。每次服用四钱，加水一盏，生姜三片，煎至七分，空腹服用。
白芥子散（出自《危氏方》）治疗背痛，疼痛向外牵连肌肉，牵引背部脾区，时发时止。这都是因为营卫之气循行失度，流滞经络，与正气相搏结。发作时类似瘫痪。
真白芥子、木鳖子（去皮，各二两）、没药、桂心、木香（各半两）。以上药材研为末，加入研磨好的药物混合均匀。每次服用一钱，用温酒调服。

控涎丹（出自《危氏方》）凡人忽然患背部、手脚、腰胯隐痛不可忍受，连筋骨牵引如钓痛，坐卧不宁，疼痛游走不定。俗医不懂，称之为“走注”，便使用风药及针灸，都无益。这又是风毒结聚，欲成为痈疽，乱用药贴敷，也不对。这其实是痰涎伏在心膈上下，变为此疾。有时让人头痛不能抬举，或神志昏倦多睡，或饮食无味，痰唾稠粘，夜间喉中如锯声，多流睡涎，手脚重肿冷痹，气脉不通，误认为瘫痪，也不对。凡有此疾，只要用此药，不过数服，疾病即消失。
甘遂（去心）、紫大戟（去皮）、白芥子（真品，各等分）。以上药材研为末，煮糊为丸，如梧桐子大，晒干。食后临睡前，用姜汤或热水送服五七丸至十丸。如果病势猛、体质实，增加丸数不妨碍。其效如神。
治疗头身无不痛，颠倒烦满欲死的方子。
取头垢如大豆大小，服用它。并用布袋装蒸熟的大豆，在疼痛处熨烫。做两个袋子交替使用更好。如果没有豆子，蒸鼠壤土熨烫也可以。
治疗各处皮肤里面痛。
用上文提到的何首乌研为末，用生姜自然汁调成膏，敷在痛处，用绢帛包裹，用火炙烤鞋底熨烫，神效。
虎骨酒法（出自《本草》）治疗肾经疼痛，不能屈伸，走注痛苦，不问深浅。

治疗手足烦疼。（出自《肘后方》）

舒筋散（出自《直指方》）治疗风淫血刺，身体疼痛，四肢拘挛。
延胡索（炒）、辣桂（去粗皮）、当归（等分）。以上研为末，每次二钱，调酒下服。延胡索能活血除风理气。

三皮散（出自《朱氏集验方》）治疗风毒湿气，流注脚膝，四肢挛拳，筋脉不伸，脚足疼痛，步履艰难。用此药酒断根，不问三二十年者，皆有效。
海桐皮（去皮）、五加皮（新采者）、桑白皮、川独活（各二两）、生干地黄（六升半）、制杜仲（各一两）、黑附子（炮去皮，斟酌多少）、薏苡仁（生用二两）、川牛膝（一两）。以上药材捣成粗末，用绵裹作一包，用无灰好酒一斗许，春季浸泡七日，秋冬十四天，夏季三五天。捞起药，空腹温服一盏，一日三五次服用。如果服药酒时，再饮其他酒，常令酒气相接，勿令大醉。重者不过两剂。服此药后旬日，两腿必发大疹，渐渐破出紫黑血，待干燥后，贴磨风膏脂疮上，自然好也。每日脚上如数百条蛇，自足而出，这是其效验。如患足疾之人，脚后有条筋，直凑肾囊，疼痛拘挛，用妙香散一贴，分作三二次服用，空腹食前，温酒盐汤下，自然伸展。

薏苡仁散 治疗湿伤肾不养肝，肝自生风，遂成风湿，流注四肢筋骨，或入左肩，肌肉疼痛，渐入左指中。
薏苡仁（一两）、当归（酒浸）、人参、川乌（炮去皮脐）、川芎、白术（炒）、羌活、桂心、防风（去芦）、茵芋（炒）、麻黄（去根节）、干姜（炮）、独活、甘草（炙，各半两）。以上药材研为细末，每次服用二钱，空腹临卧酒调下，每日三次。

[Attached Discussion]
Body pain is caused either by dampness or by phlegm obstruction. Some individuals, having suffered the shock of knives and saws, combined with internal deficiency, are injured by wind-cold and water-dampness. This causes the heart orifices to become stagnant, leading to blockage and closure of the meridians and collaterals, resulting in poor blood circulation. Consequently, the intestines, flesh, bones, and joints suffer from stabbing pain. The treatment method involves using Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix), Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), Wulingzhi (Trogopterori Faeces), Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), and Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma). After taking the medicine, small black pieces are discharged, and if the pain is not severe, the condition can be cured.
