40 yr old male patient came to my office due to severe stomach pain and vomiting. he did not have any history of digestion problems. he states his stomach has been painful since he had 2 slices of bread a few days ago.
s.s. appetite is fine but he is afraid to eat anything, vomit after meal, pain in stomach, distention and gas in stomach, upon palpation ren 14 and ren 12 areas are very painful, hands and feet are cold.
p 6 sp 4 did not work.
st 44 + st 41 - pain stopped.
patient went to see his doctor a few days after this acupuncture treatment (patient was not feeling 100% better after 2 treatment) his MD told him he has stomach ulcer. since then patient did not come back. It seems patient does not believe acupuncture can treat stomach ulcer.
