Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Hi everybody! Male, approx 65 yrs old Overall kidney yin and yang dual vacuity, mainly shows yang def. Knees sightly weak -> worse in cold, damp weather, has a back which gives him pain as well, radiates to left testicle and groin area. Pain is of a dull, empty nature. Aches. Better with pressure. His pain is better when he sits and worse when he stands or lies prone. Constant sitting will aggravate pain as well. Two weeks ago he went on a car trip. Was fine (minor aggravations)until he came back up. He stepped out of the car at one point and felt that his whole body was vibrating. He said it felt more like the ground was vibrating and he had to walk on it. Thsi happened on two different occassions, both of which were after he stood. He went to the hospital, everything checked out. His tongue is generally pale pink, light red at tip, with a medium gloss. After this vibrating episode his tongue had two tiny inflamed tastebuds - one int he lung area (bright red), the other in the heart area (purple). Info on the vibrating please!

If the sensation is largely objective, this can be manifestation of Wind invading SP. Test: Locate GB 22 on chest and GB 10 on rear of ear and teach him to massage these points 3 times a day, sitting, 1 after or before meals, for 3 minutes each point. If due to any of the 2 conditions above, there will be relief. Another test: Have pt lie supine on couch with arms somewhat akimbo. Palpate GB 22 on chest and see if tender, indurated, sunken, grainy etc. Place finger on it if some abnormal aspect is found, and don't move it. Locate GB 10 accurately and massage it for 3 mts. Test GB 22 to see if tenderness etc has disappeared. If so, test is +ve and the conclusion is that the illness is born of a K problem, with overtones of LV-GB flux. Dr. Holmes Keikobad MB BS DPH Ret.
