Ring finger couldn't move

bbsadmin

A friend of mine, man, 42 years old, his ring finger couldn't move, feel hurt when he forces it to bend, it look a little bit swollen. The problem started when he worked too hard with his hand about 2 weeks ago. And he has diabetes. The rest I didn’t find any un-normal.
I am going to work on TE and PC meridians, choose some locate points, like Yemen, Yangchi, zhongzhu, waiguan, neiguan, laogong, using even movements, Guangchong using pricking for bleeding.

Would you please tell me if you have some sugestion?

Thanks

I think first of all, the gentleman shoud have a blood test, to rule out the possibility of rheumatoid arthritis.

At the moment, you don't really need any bleeding method (for bleeding once or twice won't make it worse ).

I even don't consider to take the PC meridian. TE points are good enough to me.

Do you think so?

tutor

OK.
I just worked on TE meridian today. He felt much better after one session, and the finger can bend a little bit.
His pulse is slow and deep, the tongue swollen with white thin coating, he is cold-dampess. Next time, I am going to add Fenglong, yanglingquan, zusanli, hegu, taichong.
Is that ok?

Thanks

tutor

I agree with you!!!

There must be dampness. But you'd better make sure it's cold or heat!!!!!

If it's heat, you cannot use moxibustion.

In other aspects, it's no much difference in the prescription. I think you make a good prescription of acupoints.

In any case, the distant points on the legs are no harm.

tutor

He is cold, because the pulse is slow, like 3~4 beats per breath.
Thanks for reminding me.

tutor

Yes, I felt his hand and feet is cold. His stool is thin and urine is clear and increased in volume.

tutor

Yes, that's sounding like a cold syndrome.
