If these injuries aren't treated properly, outside elements, what traditional medicine calls "wind pathogens," can get deep into the body, reaching the bones and making recovery very difficult. This can result in muscle cramps, stiff or contracted muscles, loss of normal movement in the ribs, and even shrinking of the genitals. If left untreated, these injuries can become life-threatening.
