so far treated numerous calf pain and spasms. most of the cases was GB deficiency which I was able to treat with GB 43 + and LI 1 - or some master tong points.
a wk ago patient came and complained her calf pain is not getting better. she added her left calf and foot become extremely cold at night which is followed by extreme spasms in her left calf. I have treated her with GB 43 + before and obviously it is not helping her much.
s/s: severe case of insomnia, palpitation, anxiety, stress, severe pain in low back and knees which all get better with warmth.
Dx: GB excess cold.
Tx: GB 43 - UB 66 - (it is important to note that we cant really memorize acupunture points or formulas. even though most of such calf cases can be treated with GB 43 + in this case there is cold factor so GB 43 was seduced. patient states she feels about 50% better.)
I recommended Wen Dan Tang (warming gall bladder decoction) but patient refused to take herbs.
