Dean Lu Bing-sheng publishes pain education book 'Cracking 30 Common Pains in Adults'
Starting from Clinical Experience, Guiding Readers to Understand 30 Common Adult Pains
Dr. Ping-Sheng Lu, Director of Radiant Medical Clinic, has published a pain education book, "Cracking 30 Common Adult Pains: Teach Yourself to Self-Evaluate in 3 Minutes and Master the Key to Pain-Free Treatment!", published by Abundant Time and officially released in July 2025.
Pain is a familiar yet hard-to-diagnose issue in many people's lives. Even with the same shoulder pain, knee pain, or lower back pain, the underlying cause could stem from muscles, joints, nerves, tendons, or even different chronic inflammatory mechanisms; while symptoms may be similar, the suitable treatments are not necessarily the same.
Director Ping-Sheng Lu has compiled his years of clinical experience into 30 common adult pain issues, hoping to help general readers first understand their own symptoms, and when they truly need to seek medical attention, know better how to describe their pain, what evaluations to undergo, and how to discuss subsequent treatment directions with their doctor.
Understand Pain Starting from "Where it Hurts", Rather Than Choosing Treatment First
When facing pain, the important first step is often not deciding whether to get an injection, do rehabilitation, or undergo surgery, but first identifying which tissue the pain might be coming from and whether there are warning signs that require further examination.
The book starts from common pain scenarios in daily life, summarizing potential causes of pain in different areas, directions for self-observation, and when to seek medical attention, bringing medical information back to the actual problems patients encounter.
This is also the core principle of Radiant Medical Clinic in pain assessment: clarify the source of pain first, and then discuss the applicability of rehabilitation, medication, image-guided therapy, proliferation and regenerative therapy, or other minimally invasive interventional treatments based on each patient's condition.

There are many causes of pain, and the same symptoms can stem from different diseases.
