Many cases of rheumatism ache when it gets windy or rainy, some are even more accurate than the weather forecast.
This elder's leg pain is mostly caused by rheumatism!
Gu Youyou nodded her head and looked at his leg again, noting that it had become somewhat deformed.
She said, "How long have you had this leg pain?"
"It's been over twenty years, I believe. I endured the cold to work in the paddy fields when I was younger!"
Having been so long and seeing the severity of it, she feared there was little chance of a cure.
Gu Youyou quickly prescribed a formula and handed it to the attendant, then told the old man, "Your pain has lasted too long and is quite severe, making it almost impossible to cure. The prescription I'm giving you cannot completely heal your leg pain, but it can lessen the suffering. Make sure you brew and drink it as soon as you get home, or else the pain could get even worse at night!"
