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.

Fronzen shoulder for 3 months

50 years old male patient tells me he suffered from a frozen shoulder (right) for the last 3 months. His medical doctor's diagnosis is adhesive capsulitis. He can't raise his right shoulder.

signs and symptoms

red complexion especially around zygomatic bone area that is about an inch below the eyes. Type II Diabetic Palpitation upon stress slightly overweight abdominal distention frequent urination He gets up twice at night to urinate. daytime he goes every 3 hours or so. (He also has a habit of mumbling and talking to himself)

Treatment
Sp3- Ht 7 - Kd10+   

Added ShinGuan ... no further improvement.     I'd like to try SI 1 upon next visit.

after the treatment pain subsided about 50% according to the patient. ROM improved around 20 degrees. then he tells me he has been under a lot of stress because he was laid off a few months ago.

1 week later he tells me pain decreased about 50% and ROM improved about 50% as well. however he still feels pain in right shoulder (worse is along SI channel) and he can't fall asleep due to it.

Tx: SI 1 left side. --> no effect  perhaps because there is no clicking sound associated with his shoulder pain.

ShinGuan ROM improved a lot and pain decrease about 20%.

SI 5 - Pain disappeared.



Third Treatment (He comes weekly)
He says overall he feels much better.  Pain is less but still sharp,constant and bothers him a lot at night

KD 10 +   HT 8 -   Pain decreased a bit on the spot.
