Jingqu Dan,Gout caused by wind-dampness penetrating the bone marrow results in pain throughout the entire body—from the back down to the lower back, knees, and shins—with no part spared. Although the patient can taste food, they are unable to get out of bed; the moment they rise from the mattress, the pain becomes unbearable, forcing them to lie back down. They must be pounded, tapped, and massaged; otherwise, the pain wanders about, causing excruciating discomfort in the joints and spaces between the bones, making it impossible to endure.
