40 yr old female patient came to my office complaining of acute "heaviness" in her right arm for a couple of wks. she also suffers from stomach acid reflux on occasions. digestion is fine but there is acid reflux when she ingests "wrong food" such as greasy food or too much meat.

cc. numbness in right arm and hand worse in right ring and pinky fingers
she tells me she does yoga and she thinks it might have caused her numbness in her right arm. upon exam, there is slight tenderness around SI 8 in right elbow.
tx. gieneui point (that is from SI 6 to SJ5) without any success
then she keeps complaining of feeling "heavy" in her arm and fingers
(was going to do LV 1 SP 1 - AND SP 2 HT 8 +) but figured shin guan might be ok. tx. Shin Guan--numbness and heaviness is gone.
