Hypochondriac pain real case study

[Guest guest]

Dear all colleague,

My son , age 21, suddenly has a hypochondriac pain on the left side

for 3 days and it getting worse. This pain gets worse when he twists

his body to the right. The exact location is S19 on the left, about 3

cun directly below the nipple.

Physical healthy, muscular built, he is a physical trainer, no

stress, no depressed. Lately, no vigorous exercise nor strong physical

activity that could damage the tendons or ligaments, I believed. The

pain seems to be excruciated when he turns his body. It seem to be in

the muscle, not in bone nor skin. light pressure is fine, but deeper

will cause severe pain. Normal bowel movement, no emotional upset or

anger, good appetite, happy and lively. No headache...

Left pulse is slightly thinner than right pulse, moderate,

Slippery, long pulse. Thin white coat.

 

MY DIAGONOSIS : Could be local muscle or tendon damaged or torn.

Sometimes there was quick turn or a rapid movement which the muscle

or tendon cannot respond quickly enough, it will cause a damaged, torn

or twisted. This easily cause Qi and blood not getting through

properly. In TCM , I think we called " Qi and Blood stagnation " .

This happened suddenly without a cause as he stated. No physical

weakness or dietary related. This is what I had concluded as above.

 

TREATMENT :

ACU : I chose G34 ( for tendon and ligament ) and regulated for 30

sec, the pain diminished, but not cleared. I continued manipulating,

regulated this point and at the same time I pressed and hold the

tender point ( S19 ) and asked him to turn. At this time, no pain. He

kept turning and turning, and the pain re-existed only when he turned

left, but not that severe because I asked him to stop turning. I kept

regulating G34 for another 20 seconds and asked him to turned his body

again, but it did not help. The pain was still there. I stopped that

point and removed the needle. I believed this point is not the key.

I checked the left pulse, did not change. Then I chose the second

point S36. The reason I chose S36 ( right side ) to enhance the

quality of the left pulse ( slightly thinner than R pulse ), besides

that it belongs to Sto, S19 is the sensor. After manupulation for 15

seconds, pain was substantially bearable and feel more comfortable.

I rechecked the pulses and I found the balance between the 2 hands.

Somehow, I continued to stimulate S36 and asked my boy to turn. He

could turn much better with little pain. I removed this needle after

another 20 seconds and stopped the treatment, I said, " That is enough

for today. " If the pain still appears, let me know.

Today, he went to the fitness gym to train his clients. His

co-worker, a 40 years experiencedeep tissue masseuer, a Ph.d of

physical therapist from UCLA, said that he may have a pancreas problem

and he should be checked with an MD.

I told my son " He does not know anything, my son. He is a physical

therapist, not a physician. " First, the pancreas is inside the liver

, below the rib and is on the right side of the hypochondriac " .

Second, when we have the pancreas problem we should have some signs of

weakness because of carbohydrate metabolism problem. At times when we

overeat or undereat we will have some signs of problem or aggravation.

This will manifest in tiredness, lethargy, depression, confusion, and

it may produce some signs of allergies. The digestion problem and may

have some connection with bowel movement too, but have had nothing.

Just forget about your mentor-friend. Let me know when this pain does

not goes away and if it still does bother you even a bit. I will wait

and see until tomorrow because he went to school and will go home late.

 

I WROTE THIS TO SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU.

I think this is a special case, your descendant. I am surprised he

asked me to look at this matter.

Have any of you experienced this case ? A sudden pain below the

left nibble without any other symptoms.

Any idea I should add to this treatment or any different diagnosis

comes along?

I am sorry to state that his mentor-friend does not know anything

about this. Does it seem like an MD said to our patient in our

absence? But I think I can get away with this because he referred my

son to MD without any explanation. I have to be strong !!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks for your attention reading this case. ANy inputs will be greatful.
