This is my first post in this forum. I'm not good in English , but I'd like to share my experience and improve together.

Lower back pain for half day.
In the morning, just after she got up, when she banded the back, she suddenly felt the pain on the lower back. She can hardly move her back to any direction; she feels the radiation on both of her hips. There is no pain on any leg or foot. She had sciatica many years ago.
Exam: limited R.O.M. of the lumbar spine. SLR (-). The muscles on the left side of the lower back are spasm and rise up a little higher than the other side. Pressing pain and deep pressing pain (+) on L4~5 and L5~S1. Tender spots on FengFu (++), left TianZhu (++), and left WeiYang (++).

Treatment:
1) Gentle TuiNa massage 5’;
2) Acupuncture on left TianZhu, WeiYang, and FengFu (gentle reducing technique); both sides of L5 spinous process (0.5Cun, slowly puncture in 1.5Cun deep, reducing technique) 20’;
3) Cupping on lower back 5’;
4) Herbal electric stimulation with heating pad (mild) 20’.

Result:
Right after the treatment, she feels better and can move the lower back a little bit.
2 days later, called: the pain is completely gone, and can move free.

(To be continued, if anyone wants to discuss)
