tenosynovitis in right hand for years Trigger fingers

50 year old female patient suffers from moderate to severe pain in her right hand for years. According to her medical doctor it is due to tenosynovitis.  she works in a hospital using her hand all day.

Her right hand is very stiff in the morning and throughout the day she feels pain in her right hand especially when she opens and closes her right hand.  she hears clicking sound and often her fingers get stuck and won't move. Then she has to use left hand to move/straighten  her right fingers.

Treatment

Jing well points for the affected hand (to cause bleeding-one drop)

then left side SI 6 thru SJ 5 (Master Tong point)

there was about 50% improvement after the first treatment.  so far she had 3 treatments/visits. there is no pain but some moderate clicking is still present at times.
