45 year old male patient says he injured his right index finger at work about 2 months ago. (right index finger was sprained/hyper extended medially) since then joint (right metacarpophalangeal) gets so swollen he can't make a fist. Swelling gets worse in the morning and its warm to touch.
Treatment
LI 1 bled (a few drops) decreased pain by 20%
LI 11- didn't work.
LI 11 + decreased pain by another 20%
Finally LI 5 - (fire point) decreased pain by another 40%. and he could make a fist.
after a week he came back and he could still make a fist but moderate pain is still in the joint.
The same treatment was done except for LI 1. Patient looked very happy and ask "Can I leave these needle in me?"

Rotator Cuff Syndrome
50 Year old male patient came to see me for right shoulder pain for 3 months. According to his doctor his shoulder pain is due to rotator cuff syndrome without tear.
He can't raise his shoulder and upon palpation his neck and shoulder muscles are very tight and painful.
Other signs and symptoms
He wakes up in the mid of night to go to restroom to urinate (1-2x night); low voice tone; slight abdomenal distention with moderate indigestion issues; slightly heavy body type.
Treatment
Kd 3- Sp 3-
SI6 thru SJ5 added.
After 20 min of treatment ROM for his right shoulder is almost full and pain is almost gone.
