I agree with Tom.

In addition.....the way I've seen many practitioners inserting at K-3.....

does not make allowance for the artery. If I remember correctly the books

and instructors show a perpendicular insertion. A better insertion would be

to first palpate for the artery and then insert obliquely coming under the

artery, accessing the point. This should avoid injuring the neuro-vascular

system(s). As sometimes seen there is slight bleeding which should not

occur. Neither nerves nor vessels like being stuck with a needle.

Ki 3

 

I have a patient who had that unpleasant electric reaction to

needling at Ki 3, radiating out the bottom of his foot. The next

week he told me that the foot was still hurting at times, but usually

only when he was out hiking with a heavy pack (he was on a camping

trip that week). I avoided Ki 3 and advised him to avoid aggravating

it so it could heal. The next week he told me that that leg was

starting to have numbness while he was standing on it. Could that be

related? I've never heard of that happening.

 

Thanks!

It is interesting that you assume that Tom is in the USA.

Next time you might consider doing a little more due diligence before

making such comments about USA practitioners.

Tom is in fact in Belgium and a very capable and advanced practitioner.

Several people have responded suggesting nerve damage and yet we don't even

know the above information. We are a litigious, fear-based society (in the

USA) and sometimes we respond with a CYA knee-jerk reaction. I'm NOT

suggesting that is the only reason for the multiple responses for

neurological referral (so please don't send replies suggesting that I think

we don't care about patient safety!). I'm just saying that sometimes we run

scared before getting all the facts. With the information you provided, I

can't tell if he needs a referral or not.

 

For example:

If there is a hematoma at KI3 it could be putting pressure in the

surrounding area, thus impinging on the nerve.

If you just did a superficial insertion it is unlikely that ever reached

the

nerve.

If the sensation was transitory, it is unlikely you reached the nerve

(needling a nerve will hurt until you remove the needle and then may

continue for some time after).

 

Again, without knowing details of the treatment it is difficult to make a

definitive recommendation. Personally, I think I may (MAY!) have needled

KI3

on the OPPOSITE side that first time. It is possible for there to be a

channel obstruction going on. It is also possible that there is nerve

damage. However, even nerve damage from a needle is a very short-lived

situation and is not likely to be so progressive in symptomology. So I

continue to remain suspicious of what's really going on. It is also

possible

that if the patient believes there to be nerve damage, that he is

somatacizing the experience..somatacizing the experience

 

By all means, if you feel a referral is necessary to keep your patient

safe,

then do so without hesitation. I'm just suggesting that perhaps more

probing

is needed.

 

(and again, I am not suggesting that anyone is talking about anything other

It does appear that they share a similar pathway. Several nerves run through

the area. A referral to a neurologist might be prudent, especially if it

continues to worsen or remain. Quicker action would be the best thing for a

neurological problem.

I agree with Joy here.  Just give us some more facts.

 

 

 

My first reaction when I read your post was, I have had an electrical charge go

out of the bottom of my foot on KI3 and never experienced any after effects.  I

needle the point pretty shallow, as I believe my acupuncturist did.

 

 

 

I would not jump to the neurologist referral yet.  Who knows they might give

him a nerve conduction test that will really send a jolt down the nerve.

 

 

 

He may be focused on KI 3 as the problem.  A long hiking trip may have

bothered his leg.

Acudoc11,

 

It is replies like this that make me not want to participate in discussion

groups at all...why do you think I qualified my statement by putting the

" (USA) " in parenthesis in the first place - because I was specifically not

referring to anyone outside of the USA regarding that particular

statement...

 

Also, I never once denigrated any single practitioner in my reply. Nor did I

make any assumptions. I was simply offering a point of view and thought I

made every effort to disclaim any reference to anyone's motives, skill, etc.

 

That's all I have to say on that subject.

Since there is no treatment for this i do not see the urgency for a referral to

a neurologist. A laser is the best treatment for this. If the patient is

developing a neuralgia (pain) then a referral and perhaps a local steroid would

make sense

There is something much better than laser for this problem and, indeed, most

neuropathies. This is the Russian SCENAR and it's effects are immediate, not 5

or 10 treatments down the road.

I have a patient who had that unpleasant electric reaction to

needling at Ki 3, radiating out the bottom of his foot. The next

week he told me that the foot was still hurting at times, but usually

only when he was out hiking with a heavy pack (he was on a camping

trip that week). I avoided Ki 3 and advised him to avoid aggravating

it so it could heal. The next week he told me that that leg was

starting to have numbness while he was standing on it. Could that be

related? I've never heard of that happening.

 

Thanks!

 

Fiamma Sita Aaron,

 

 

Hi Fiamma,

 

I think it happens with everyone occasionally who uses insertion type

acupuncture - that a point will remain sore for a patient. When this

happens I have the patient come back in as soon as possible and I do

about 10 minutes of indirect moxa with the moxa pole on the area. I

try to get feed back as I go along as to how it feels. One thing that

can happen is that a muscle spasms around a nerve and does not

release. It is possible that the stagnation of this builds over

time. The moxa has worked every time. Once I had to do it twice with

someone who had pain at P6.

 

Hope this helps

I learn that in school too. But to use direct thread moxa on prolong pain after

needle. Never used it though.

Fiamma,

 

Thanks for your post. We all have had a patient sometime who has not had

the perfect reaction to a needle.

It's refreshing to see your honesty. No matter what our competence, that

can happen to anyone and it does.
