(附注:鹤膝风)
这种病症也与痹证相似,民间称为白虎历节风。所谓“白虎”,是指疼痛剧烈如同被老虎咬噬;所谓“历节”,是指疼痛沿着四肢关节依次发作。
由于在夏季腠理(皮肤毛孔及肌肉间隙)开泄之时,贪凉受风;或坐卧于泥地、漆器之上而感受风湿之邪;或出汗后当风受凉;或酒后感受风邪。到了秋冬季节,腠理闭塞,风寒湿邪与气血相搏结,导致手指拘挛弯曲,腿膝肿胀,产生难以忍受的剧烈疼痛。也有因湿痰流注经络而引起疼痛的,如果是风寒所致,夜间疼痛尤为严重;如果是湿痰所致,则日夜疼痛程度相同。脉象浮大属于风寒;弦细属于湿邪;滑脉多主痰饮。治疗应当采用辛温解表的方法,驱逐风寒湿邪,可用当归拈痛汤之类的方剂。
若是湿痰引起的,应使用渗湿导痰法,待疼痛减轻后再兼用养血舒筋之法。

(Note: Crane's Knee Wind)
This condition is also similar to Bi syndrome (Bi Syndrome, obstruction of meridians causing pain and numbness), commonly known in folklore as White Tiger Li Jie Feng. "White Tiger" refers to the severe pain feeling as if bitten by a tiger; "Li Jie" refers to the pain traversing sequentially through the joints of the four limbs.
It occurs because during summer, when the Cou Li (skin pores and interstitial spaces) are open, one indulges in cooling off and catches wind; or sits and lies on mud or lacquered surfaces, contracting wind-dampness; or exposes oneself to wind while sweating; or contracts wind after drunkenness. In autumn and winter, when the Cou Li are closed, pathogenic factors of wind-cold-dampness combine with Qi and Blood, leading to curling of fingers, swelling of legs and knees, and unbearable excruciating pain. There are also cases where pain is caused by the flow and deposition of damp-phlegm. If due to wind-cold, pain is worse at night; if due to damp-phlegm, pain persists equally day and night. A floating and large pulse indicates wind-cold; a wiry and thin pulse indicates dampness; a slippery pulse indicates phlegm. Treatment should employ acrid-warm methods to release the exterior and expel wind-cold-dampness pathogens, such as Danggui Niangong Tang (Angelica Root and Ligusticum Pain-Relieving Decoction).
If caused by damp-phlegm, use methods to leach out dampness and guide out phlegm; once pain subsides, concurrently nourish blood and relax sinews.
