40 yr old female hair stylist came in due to pain in her right hand for a couple of days. she was concerned if it was due to something serious such as CTS. upon exam, she had pain in her thenar muscles.
no other s/s.
tx: wu hu #1 (left)
30 min retention with moving and stretching of her right hand.
no pain after tx.
most hair stylists have pain in hand/finger joins lots of smartphone users have pain in the thenar muscles. all can be treated by wu hu points.
I saw her recently and asked how she was her thumb. she said there was no pain. she also added it was due to using blackberry phone too much.

tendonitis of knee
female patient in mid 30s came in due to pain in her bilateral knees for 3 months. she never had any pain in her knees before. she states she did lots of exercises then knee pain started. left knee is worse.
pain is located around knee cab along sp channels bilaterally.
she is sl heavy has slight digestion problems depending on what she eats. nausea at times. palpitations when anxious, sleeping is fine. hands and feet are sl cold. no dizziness but blurry vision on occasions.
Tx: LV 1 + no change in pain then LV 1 - again no change in pain
so I concluded her knee pain is just due to exercises.
Tx right side SI 6 thru SJ 5 knee pain improves 90 % then added sp 6 upward (left leg)

acute pain in neck
30 yr old male patient came to my office due to neck pain for 1 day. he overworked and slept for 1 hr only. the following day his neck felt so stiff he cant turn his neck side to side and up and down and worst pain is when he flexes his neck down.
Tx: SI 3
lateral rotation is much better but flexing/extending is still painful.
I was thinking about doing UB 65 and ren 24. then I realized I never used ren 24 alone for this problem but always used with ub65.
tx: ren 24 ==> not much improvement
then UB 65 flex/ext improves about 70%.
