pain in TMJ neck knee ankle for 3 yrs

60 yr old female patient came to my office complaining of pain in left jaw/face (TMJ), neck, left knee and left ankle for 3 yrs.

history: about 3 yrs ago some one punched her face (left side) causing her to fall on the floor. since then she has suffered from all the pain stated above.

first sp3 + LI 11- sj 5 - 10 min later patient tells me her knee feels much better but TMJ and neck are the same.

LI 4 (have patient open and close her mouth while stimulating the needle using even technique)

TMJ is much better she can open 100% and pain is almost gone.

asked patient to come back for more tx.
