shooting pains in finger mystery is solved !

[Guest guest]

Hey Al - Im sure you remember me a few months back posting about how i would get

shooting pains in my ring finger when in the presence of cold. Well it turns out

that I have a glomus tumor under the nail, its benign, and its nothing serious

but not very common. I am going for the surgery on tuesday to get it removed,

and then i should be pain free !! Just thought i'd let you know. Oh, and i am 2

months into acupuncture school now, and i am loving it. So far we learned the

lung and large intestine channels, some oriental theory, 5 elements.

Which nail was it beneath? (which finger, which hand?)

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

In 20% of the cases, the tumor grows back, so I would encourage stick with

the treatments you're getting, hopefully they can prevent it from returning.

 

I note that although there is some recognition of what a glomus tumor is,

the solitary kind's cause is unknown.

 

In Chinese medicine, there are a few different causes for tumors, but we

still have to focus on your perceptions such as sensitivity to cold. Not all

glomus tumor patients report that, though many do.

 

I return to the two formulas for cold extremities, one due to a lack of

internal warmth and the other more of a circulatory issue.

 

Anyway, I hope that the excision helps you feel better. Thanks for the

follow up on this.
