another dampness case

40 yr old female patient came due to stiffness in her left leg along Liver meridian for many wks. her main symptom was heaviness all over her body which is much worse with humidity such as rainy weather.

s/s: slight indigestion (slight distention after meals w.o. pain or diarrhea) appetite is good. achy body and heaviness that is worse with high humidity. all liver s/s are negative. as paitient is raising her left leg on the treatment table she complains of stiffness and moderate pain.
Ren 12 was painful upon palpation.

Tx: ST 41 + patient says left leg feels much lighter and pain is gone.

(perhaps I should have tried to tonify sp since it is due to internal dampness)
she came back and told me leg is still much better. 2nd tx. LV 1 SP 1- SP 2 + Ht 8+
