25 yr old female patient says she can't function due to severe headache for two days. Her headache is located on the top and all left side of her head. She also has sharp pain and tightness in the neck area near GB 20 and 21 (back of the neck).

she is thin and normally has moderate to severe abdominal cramps before period. other signs and symptoms include dizziness when standing up from sitting position. Heat sensation in the upper body. slight thirst. no palpitation. her work is stressful.

tx. LU 8 - then she felt slightly better.

1 cun above LV 2 then pain was about 50% better. later that night patient emailed me stating her headache was gone. she came back in 2 days due to a different issue and told me she no longer suffers from her headache.

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.
