Patient's question:
Unable to straighten, it improves after massage, but then it becomes unable to straighten again after a while. One side was treated for a year, and the other side has not been treated yet. What kind of assistance is needed: I want to heal it through my own massage. I am asking how to use various blood-activating ointments together...Doctor's answer:
Tendonitis can be treated with acupuncture anesthesia (1) Main acupoints: Divided into 2 groups: 1, Yangxi, Yangchi; 2, Waiguan. (2) Medicinal solution: Prednisolone 2ml, 2% procaine 2ml (skin test must be performed first before use, if positive, use 2ml lidocaine instead). Choose one from each group. Each group of acupoints selects one group, only the affected side is taken. The selected medicinal solution is drawn into a syringe and mixed. Use a 6 or 5 needle to directly the acupoints, after obtaining the qi, infuse 2ml of solution per acupoint. Treat once every 2-5 days, 3 times as one course.Advice: Moxibustion (1) Main acupoints: Ashi points. Auxiliary acupoints: For flexor tendon sheathitis, add Hegu and Yuji; for radial styloid tendon sheathitis, add Yangxi and Lieque. Ashi point selection: The most painful area (pressing annually). (2) For miscellaneous diseases, there are two methods: one is separated moxibustion, and the other is scarless direct moxibustion. Separated moxibustion. Preparation of moxibustion materials: Take equal amounts of cloves and cinnamon, grind and mix to form Dinggui powder. Wash fresh ginger, cut into 2mm thick slices, and pierce 6-7 small holes in the center with a three-edged needle. Scarless direct moxibustion method: Make pure moxa wool into wheat grain-sized moxa cones, place them directly on the acupoints, and extinguish them with a burning thread. Let the moxa cones burn slowly, and when the patient feels warmth, extinguish them with a bamboo or paper piece, then place another moxa cone on top and continue the same method for 5 moxa cones, making the warmth penetrate deeply into the affected area. Auxiliary acupoints are selected 1-2, and filiform needles are used. After obtaining the qi, apply equal tonification and sedation, and retain the needles until the moxibustion is complete.
