40 yr old female with BMI 25 came to my office due to numbness in her hands and fingers on and off for about 3 years. According to her medical doctors it is due to carpal tunnel syndrome. Patient didn't want to get an operation but try some acupuncture first.
Right hand is worse than her left. Thumb, index finger and pinky are affected (constantly numb) and it wakes her up at night.
other signs and symptoms
Stressful job/life; she gets angry a lot lately; orthostatic hypotension along with momentary blurry vision; abdominal fullness/bloating after eating certain food; frequent urination (overactive bladder)
No watery eyes, no sinus issues
Treatment
LV 1 + SP 1+ after 15min numbness in her right hand was lowered by 50% according to the patient.
