Insomnia difficult to fall asleep and sharp pain near left ankle area for 1 week

50 years old male patient came to my office due to severe pain near left ankle for 1 week. His MD could not give him any diagnosis x ray came out negative.  Pain is very sharp to the bone and it stars from the distal tip of Tibia (ankle joint area) and shoots upward approx. 5 inches.  He is very healthy otherwise He never had this pain.

Other signs and symptoms

Insomnia for a month or so, slightly overweight, mouth odor on occasions, occipital headache palpitation and stuffy feeling in chest upon stress and anxiety.   Recently he broke up with his girlfriend and he is going through emotionally tough times. also for the last few weeks he gets up 1-2x to urinate at night.

Treatment

Sp 3- Ht 7- Kd 10 +    the shooting pain went away. and the pain upon pressure subsided around 50-60%   I explained his pain is due to his emotional stress he acknowledged.  He called a couple of days later that it disappeared.
