Post operative case with fusion of cervical spine , severe pain, analgesics did not respond. Burning sensation in the whole body, finally combination of tan with tung and I Ching gave good support.Post operative case cervical spine aged 56 yrs, male, discectomy at C5-C6, C6-C7.Patient arrived at the hospital at midnight with severe pain of VAS 10/10. Â He had consulted three neuro surgeon and was referred to me. None of the sedatives or analgesic were responding.
It was a trauma case as the patient came in at midnight and high adrenaline was already induced by the brain in the process of releasing endorphins naturally. So immediately I used pc6 PC 7 ht7 and du20 and asked him to take deep breaths. Further I applied st36.5 gb34.25 , St 41, and liv 5 and liv3 and left him in a sitting position for ten mins.
He was feeling nauseous and his nausea reduced and  lu 11 with BL 60 and bl64 were bleeded. After 10 mins patients was able to talk. We made him walk but his lower back had no strength. He was frustrated with high water deficiency and had burning sensation as if something was pericing his body with burning nail.
I started with Tung , Tan and IChing acupuncture treatment.
Most important was what to select and what not to do . So I decided, 77.2, 77.03,77.04 in the the midline of the posterior aspect of lower leg (in the Achilles tendon), 3.5cun from the heel and midway between BL-60 & KID-3. I further added 22.01 , 22.02, 22.06 with Sl-3 and 22.08. In addition A.04 was further added as well.
Pain came down to at VAS-5 /10 but tingling and burning sensation was still there in the whole body so further bleeded all jing well points and after few mins burning sensation was rated 3/10.
I was little perplexed as pain was mostly radiating in all six channels, and in between channels wasting of deltoid and thenar muscle. As per the bagua, since patient arrived at midnight, I decided to first needle tender points of the spleen up to 9B, than stomach from 41 to 36 and in GB 41 to GB 34 also took some tender points between Gb and spleen channel.
Effort resulted  and there was no pain. I left the needle inserted for 90 mins two clock cycles. The patient left at 4:30 from 10 to 0 pain level.
Kindly accept my deep gratitude, finally Acupuncture was replaced for morphine tablets.
