50 yr old female came to my office due to pain and numbness in her right hand for several years. she self-diagnosed it as carpal tunnel syndrome because of occasional numbness in her hand and arm (right side)
based on exams she has tenosynovitis in her right hand (worst in the middle and ring finger area) this is also known as trigger finger. in her case the inflammation is not so severe her fingers dont "lock" (as shown in the picture.
all other signs and symptoms are negative and she tells me she needs to use her hands a lot at work.
tx: bled jing well points. (right SJ 1 and PC 9) then needled left SI 6 thru SJ 5 on her first visit.
then she had 3 more treatments using SI 6 thru SJ 5. stiffness in her right hand is gone and she doent feel numb in the hand.
