肾脏主管腰部和脚部,女性的肾脏通过胞络与子宫相连。如果因劳累损伤导致肾气虚弱,风冷之邪侵入胞络,邪气与人体真气相互交争,就会导致腰部和脚部疼痛。治疗应当以补益元气为主,辅以祛除邪气的方剂。
〔薛己按〕上述病症如果是真阳衰败,寒邪乘虚侵袭,出现手足冰冷、头痛恶寒,或者呕吐腹痛等症状,适宜使用本条提到的方剂(指前文语境中的温阳散寒方)。如果是气血虚弱,感受寒邪,出现恶寒发热、头痛口渴,或者呕吐腹痛等症状,适宜使用五积散。(出自杂病中寒章节。)如果是元气虚弱,被湿热所伤,出现两小腿肿痛、寒热交替身体疼痛,或者呕吐不能进食等症状,适宜使用槟苏败毒散。(出自杂病伤湿章节。)如果是脾胃虚弱,元气下陷,出现寒热交替、呕吐、发热头痛、气喘口渴、身体疲倦等症状,适宜使用补中益气汤。(出自杂病伤劳倦章节。)如果是足三阴经精血亏损,阴火在内扰动,出现内热、傍晚发热、口渴痰多、小便频数等症状,适宜使用六味地黄丸。(出自杂病虚劳章节。)如果是足三阴阳气虚败,出现恶寒发热、手足冰冷、吐痰不能进食、大小便滑泄频数等症状,适宜使用八味地黄丸。(出自杂病虚劳章节。)
有一位妇人先感到腰胯疼痛,后来双腿也痛,我认为这是足三阴虚寒,受到外邪伤害。使用了小续命汤和独活寄生汤,症状时好时坏,她吃的食物必须极热,腹部才感觉舒适。我说:邪气已去但元气虚寒。诊察她的脉象,果然沉细,于是使用养肾散(见本条),逐渐痊愈,后又使用十补丸(见虚劳章节)而完全康复。
另一位妇人所患症状相同,但有发热口渴,喜欢冷冻的饮食,脉象洪大且数,重按时却迟涩,我认为这是血虚有热。使用羚羊角散(见身体痛章节)去掉槟榔,加入白术、茯苓,服用几剂后,又改用加味逍遥散(见结核章节)而治愈。
还有一位妇人患有前述病症,有时腿膝疼痛,脉象浮数,重按时迟缓,这是元气虚弱而被风湿所乘袭。使用独活寄生汤顿然痊愈,后又用八珍汤调理而安。
一位妇人因愤怒引发前述病症,出现寒热往来、口苦不能进食、傍晚发热和内热,我认为这是肝火兼血虚。先用小柴胡汤加山栀顿然痊愈,后又用加味逍遥散而治愈。
一位妇人患有前述病症,出现寒热头痛,非常像伤寒,这是寒邪的证候,使用槟苏败毒散而安定,后又用补中益气汤调理而痊愈。

The Kidney governs the waist and legs. In women, the Kidney is connected to the uterus via the Bao Luo (uterine network). If labor or injury damages the Kidney Qi, leading to weakness, and Wind-Cold pathogenic factors invade the Bao Luo, the pathogenic factors contend with the healthy Qi, resulting in pain in the waist and legs. Treatment should primarily focus on tonifying the Yuan Qi (original Qi), assisted by formulas that dispel pathogens.
[Xue Ji's Commentary] For the aforementioned conditions, if True Yang is exhausted and Cold Evil attacks, presenting with cold hands and feet, headache, aversion to cold, or vomiting and abdominal pain, it is appropriate to use the formula mentioned in this context (referring to warming yang and dispersing cold formulas). If Qi and Blood are deficient and affected by Cold Evil, presenting with aversion to cold, fever, headache, thirst, or vomiting and abdominal pain, Wuji San (Five Accumulations Powder) is appropriate. (From Miscellaneous Diseases: Cold.) If Yuan Qi is deficient and injured by Damp-Heat, presenting with swelling and pain in both shins, alternating chills and fever, body aches, or vomiting and inability to eat, Bingsu Baidu San (Areca and Perilla Detoxification Powder) is appropriate. (From Miscellaneous Diseases: Injury by Dampness.) If Spleen and Stomach are weak, with Yuan Qi sinking, presenting with alternating chills and fever, vomiting, feverish headache, panting and thirst, and physical fatigue, Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) is appropriate. (From Miscellaneous Diseases: Injury by Fatigue.) If the Essence and Blood of the Three Yin Meridities of the Foot are depleted, with Deficient Fire stirring internally, presenting with internal heat, afternoon tidal fever, thirst with profuse phlegm, and frequent urination, Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) is appropriate. (From Miscellaneous Diseases: Consumption and Weakness.) If the Yang Qi of the Three Yin Meridities of the Foot is exhausted, presenting with aversion to cold, fever, cold hands and feet, expectoration, inability to eat, and slippery/frequent defecation and urination, Bawei Dihuang Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) is appropriate. (From Miscellaneous Diseases: Consumption and Weakness.)
A woman first experienced pain in her lower back and hips, followed by pain in both legs. I considered this to be deficiency-cold of the Three Yin Meridities of the Foot, injured by external pathogens. She was treated with Xiao Xuming Tang (Minor Xu Ming Decoction) and Duhuo Jisheng Tang (Angelica Pubescens and Porcinus Decoction). Symptoms came and went; she felt comfortable in her abdomen only when consuming very hot food. I stated: The pathogen has been expelled, but the Yuan Qi is deficient and cold. Her pulse was indeed deep and fine. She was administered Yangshen San (Kidney-Nourishing Powder) [see this section], gradually recovering, and subsequently cured with Shibu Wan (Ten Tonics Pill) [see Consumption and Weakness].
Another woman suffered from similar symptoms but presented with fever and thirst, preferring cold drinks and food. Her pulse was surging and rapid, but slow and choppy upon deep pressure. I diagnosed this as Blood deficiency with Heat. She was treated with Lingyangjiao San (Antelope Horn Powder) [see Body Pain], removing Areca Nut, and adding Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome and Poria, for several doses. She was then treated with Jiawei Xiaoyao San (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) [see Tubercles] and recovered.
A third woman suffered from the aforementioned condition, with occasional pain in the legs and knees. Her pulse was floating and rapid, but slow and sluggish upon deep pressure. This indicated Yuan Qi deficiency with invasion by Wind-Damp. She was instantly cured by Duhuo Jisheng Tang and stabilized with Bazhen Tang (Eight-Treasure Decoction).
A fourth woman developed the aforementioned condition due to anger, presenting with alternating chills and fever, bitter taste in the mouth, inability to eat, afternoon tidal fever, and internal heat. I diagnosed this as Liver Fire with Blood deficiency. She was instantly cured by Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) added with Gardenia Fruit, and subsequently cured with Jiawei Xiaoyao San.
A fifth woman suffered from the aforementioned condition, presenting with chills, fever, and headache, resembling Taiyang Disease (Exterior Syndrome). This was a Cold Evil syndrome. She was stabilized by Bingsu Baidu San and cured by regulating with Buzhong Yiqi Tang.
