Severe Back Pain Mistaken for Recurrent Heart Attack — After Multiple Tests, the Culprit Was a Serious Gastric Ulcer

A man in his 50s previously underwent cardiac catheterization and had a stent placed after suffering an acute myocardial infarction. In recent years, he had been regularly monitoring his heart condition. However, a few months ago, he suddenly developed persistent and severe back pain located near his left shoulder blade. Suspecting a recurrence of his heart disease, he sought medical attention immediately. Examinations showed no abnormalities in his heart, and multiple specialist consultations also failed to identify the cause. It was not until Dr. Kuo Wu-hsien, director of the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Medicine, performed a gastroscopy that the real cause was discovered — a severe gastric ulcer.

A childhood sprain affected me until age 30! The right side of my body hurt so much I could barely walk. Acupuncture and manual therapy cured it.

A man in his 30s had been experiencing pain from his right back extending to the back of his right calf in recent years, making it difficult to even walk when severe. He sought treatment from Dr. Lu Yen-Chang at the Chinese Medicine Department of Yuan Rung Hospital, part of the Yuan Rung Healthcare System. During the consultation, Dr. Lu learned that the man had sprained his right ankle in elementary school. Although the injury healed, it caused his thoracic spine to shift to the right and his lumbar spine to his pelvis to shift to the left, resulting in a slight leg length discrepancy. After acupuncture and manual correction, the patient can now walk and run normally.

Decorators, athletes, pay attention! Walking is fine, but "it hurts as soon as you squat"? Be careful of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome from prolonged deep squats.

Mr. Yeh, a decorator, has suffered from squatting difficulties for several years. He feels fine when walking normally, but squatting causes unbearable pain. He sought help from a Yuan Rung Hospital, part of the Yuan Rung Healthcare System . Dr. Hua diagnosed him with "femoroacetabular impingement syndrome," caused by long-term squatting for work. He reminds laborers such as plumbers and masons who frequently squat for work to be aware of this condition. Additionally, it can also occur in young athletes who engage in high-intensity sports like tennis, soccer, and track hurdles. He urges people not to endure the pain if they feel a catching sensation on both sides of their hip when squatting and experience severe pain when standing up, as enduring it will only worsen the condition.
