carpal tunnel syndrome

carpal tunnel syndrome patient came to my office. pain was located primarily in pc and ht channels. she states it started after typing too much at work for one yr. pain is always present but worse after work.

she is about 40 yr old. her work is very stressful and she feels a lot better when she is not working.

s/s: severe imsomnia (related to stress) no nausea no palpitation, cold hands and feet (since child) , no urination or defication problems, slight anxiety, dizziness upon standing up fast from sitting position, blurry vision on occasion, dry mouth red eyes only when she does not sleep. like summer

CTS pain completely disappeared. (it seems she also has other issues. most obvious signs are liver signs. in addition, pc is the jueyin pair and Ht is the son (mother son pair)
