50 year old lady tells me she has been suffering from pain in elbow for the last three months. pain is located in her left elbow (lateral). she is also concerned about her left pinky; the distal joint (the last joint of her little finger) is crooked and very painful.
when asked, she tells me she is under a lot of stress recently (for the last three months) often she can't fall asleep or she wakes up too early and can't go back to sleep. she is slighty heavy. she wakes up in the middle of the night to go to the restroom to urinate. she experiences palpitation when she is anxious or stressed. she is slightly constipated sometimes her stool is as hard as a rock. her pain is worse with damp weather... her mouth is dry/thirsty. overall she feels warm not cold.
treatment
LI 5- SI5- ST 36 + LI 11 +
after 10 min pain in her finger improved about 80% and elbow pain around 50%. LI 11 (opposite side) was reinserted closed to the tendon/bone. then pain in elbow improved overall 80%.
anxiety and stress can cause joint pains exp in hands
