case #1: 60 yr old thin female suffers from right shoulder pain for 3 months ever since she fainted which made her fall on the ground. since then she states it is extremely painful (worse at night) and cold so she cant sleep at night. she had tried ashi points at a different acupuncture clinic which failed to improve her condition.
she has been going through lots of stress in life for the last 6 months. ROM abduction is restricted. 0--70 with severe pain. sleeping is fine. digestion is fine. palpitation with stress and anxiety. cold hands and feet.
Tx: Sp 3 + LI 11 - ROM improved about 5 degrees.
then Si 2 - UB 66 - Si 3 + GB 41 +
so far she came 3 times. she says her coldness and pain in her right shoulder have improved a lot so she can sleep at night. ROM is still restricted with relatively less pain at 0--100 degrees.
case # 2: 45 yr old with frozen shoulder for 6 months. all s/s are negative except for st dampness.
TX: ST 41 +
patient's shoulder improved about 10 % after treatment.
differentiation is the key!!!
