Nice to meet you.  

 

Professor Won Je-beom, who was selected as one of Korea's top 100 people in the rheumatology department for four consecutive years from 2020 to 2023, is an oriental medicine clinic in Asanbone Medical Center that makes detailed and accurate diagnosis and provides correct treatment. 

 

You came to the right place, and first of all, I would like to offer some kind of comfort to anyone who may be suffering for any reason. 

 

As you know, even with the same symptoms, each cause of pain is different.

 

In other words, even if the same area as others hurts the same, the causes of pain vary from person to person. 

 

Should I give you an example?  

 

 

Let's say there are three patients who have the same 'wrist soreness'.

 

One person can develop degenerative arthritis as he or she uses his or her wrists a lot or his cartilage is damaged by aging.

 

Another person may experience pain and numbness due to excessive use of hands in daily life or during work due to pressing of the medial nerve from the palm to the wrist (wrist tunnel syndrome).

 

Lastly, the other person may have pain in his wrist due to a "chronic inflammatory disease" that occurs throughout his body, not just his wrist joint.  

 

The last mentioned "chronic inflammatory disease" ,which is commonly referred to, is 'Rheumatoid Arthritis'

 

It is a disease in which inflammation first invades small joints such as hands and wrists, feet and ankles.

 

Therefore, if symptoms such as premature stiffness and lethargy are accompanied in addition to pain, rheumatoid arthritis should also be suspected.

 

 

Here, "morning stiffness" is one of the characteristic symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, and when you wake up in the morning, your joints become stiff, making it difficult to move, but after some activity, you get better. 

 

I mentioned above as an example of 'wrist', but it's the same for 'other joints'.

 

The pain area is the same, but there can be various causes.

 

Therefore, it is advisable to visit the Gangdong-gu Asanbone Internal Medicine that can understand what kind of disease it is from an overall perspective of the body.

 

If joint pain goes over a week, please go to the hospital for a thorough examination. 

 

 

 

Q1. Does the test vary depending on where it hurts (the pain area)? 

 

 

Yes, that's right. The test may vary depending on the area where the pain is. 

 

As I reiterated, all causes of pain are different.

 

Therefore, it is very important to first understand whether the reason for the pain is a "joint problem," a "joint peripheral problem," or a "whole-body problem" like rheumatoid disease.

 

And identifying the area where pain appears is an important information in predicting what kind of disease it is. 

 

Above all, our Asanbone considers it very important to clearly understand whether the cause of the pain is caused by "inflammation." 

 

Despite receiving treatment at other hospitals such as Gangdong-gu Internal Medicine, many of the patients who visited the hospital did not find inflammation in those hospitals because they did not have the desired effect or improvement.

 

Inflammation spreads to the periphery of the first area, exacerbating the problem. That's why early detection is very important.  

 

Ultrasound examination is being performed to determine the presence or absence of such inflammation.

 

 

Next, to tell you in more detail about the examination of each part, we can divide it into 'spine' and 'arm leg'. 

 

First, for those who complain of pain in their spine, an X-ray examination is conducted on the neck, back, waist, and pelvis, and the problem is identified along with a physical examination.

 

For example, check meticulously whether the spine is twisted, whether there is a disk, whether the spine is bent normally, and whether there is a bone mass. 

 

And in the case of people complaining of pain in their limbs, we take a close look at the problems of 'X-ray' and 'ultrasound' depending on the area where the pain persists.

 

However, if inflammation is confirmed in several joints during ultrasound examination and various discomfort is accompanied by physical examination, additional blood tests can be conducted if rheumatoid disease is suspected. 

 

 

 

Q2. If you find the cause of the pain, what kind of treatment will you receive afterwards? 

 

Treatment can vary depending on "why the pain occurred," "where it occurred," and "the degree of pain (how much it hurts)." However, "drug therapy" is basically performed. However, if the degree of pain is so painful that it causes discomfort in daily life, "joint injection therapy" is performed. 

 

Our Gangdong-gu Department of Internal Medicine Asanbone is a hospital focused/specialized for pain treatment and has a variety of injections and biological agents. Therefore, even for patients with any problem, you can get 1:1 customized treatment. 

 

 

 

For example,

 

If the nerves are compressed (compressed) or the nerves are so stimulated that they are sick, we proceed with "neuroprojection" treatment.

 

And in the case of a rotator cuff rupture in which the muscle used to rotate the shoulder is ruptured, 'collagen injection' treatment can be performed. 

 

In addition, "DAN injection" treatment is provided for those who have inflammation but are not suitable for steroid use, "PRP" treatment is provided for elbow pain, and cartilage injection (small amount of bone injection depending on the situation) is provided for degenerative arthritis.

 

Through such various customized treatments for each symptom/cause, we help you recover safely and faster. 

 

 

Above all, Asanbone, Gangdong-gu Internal Medicine, has the latest technology for joint ultrasound devices that can only be equipped in university hospitals.

 

Joint ultrasound devices can see nerves, blood vessels, ligaments, tendons, muscles, etc. precisely, and can be performed while watching ultrasound directly during injection procedures.

 

For this reason, more precise treatment is possible, and precise treatment increases excellent treatment efficiency and patient satisfaction.

 

If more systematic and safe scrutiny and accurate diagnosis based on the broad perspective and proficiency of specialists are made, you can solve any number of unbearable symptoms and months of pain.   

 

 

 

However, there is one condition for this.

 

Don't put up with the pain for too long, but quickly visit the Rheumatology Gangdong-gu Department of Internal Medicine and ask for help.

 

Being sick is never your fault. Anyone can get sick.

 

So, don't blame yourself for no reason or break your heart, and please visit the headquarters with a comfortable mind.

 

I hope you can regain your pain-free and comfortable daily life through fast and proper treatment. 

 

Thank you.
