Acute Nephritis
40 year old male patient came in due to pain in his foot. As he is talking about his symptoms, he tells me he starts to feel some sharp pain on left side of his low back. He had an episode of kidney stones and felt the same pain then... His face turns red and he says his back pain is so excruciating he can't even walk.
Minutes later he calls his MD and was told he seems to have acute nephritis. Since he cant even walk I gave him some treatments as follows:
SP 3 - without any improvement (so it wasnt Spleen --> Kidney issue)
Kd 2 - (right side) pain significantly decreased... 10 to almost 0.
Kd 10 + added (right side)
after 15 minutes he tells me pain is gone. He didn't have TCM heart signs such as palpitation...
I called him next day and found out he was fine.

Esophagus Burn
A lady in early 30s came in due to her low back pain. After acupuncture treatment was done she asked if acupuncture can work for her pain in her throat. She ate something really hot (boiling hot) last night and it burned her throat and she feels burning/sharp pain when she swallows food or drinks liquid.
According to classic texts, esophagus is connected to SJ and PC acupuncture meridians. SJ 6 with reducing technique was done and pain was reduced about 60% according to the patient.
She called the very next day and told me throat feels about 70% better but she didn't come back for another visit...perhaps she didn't need it.
