Follow the trail-
🛑Young middle age male pt with no co morbidities,admitted in emergency with acute onset of breathlessness….
🛑On work up diagnosed with Bilateral Pnemothorax.. Gave history of multiple cupping needle therapy by physiotherapist for cervical pain. Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin to create suction!
🛑People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage. We get a lot of Spondyloarthritis patients coming to us many of them have tried cupping therapy!
🛑This is the most bizarre case seen ,reported and managed today by this colleague of mine who’s not on Twitter but I thought to share it with everyone with his consent here to make aware our patients about the negative consequences of such alternative therapies
