A

TW-6, G-39, GV-14

49

SX: Main factor is the pain is severe (if the pain is mild, it’s not cold/painful Bi). Muscles will be contracted, spasm. Pain is usually focused in JOINT or MUSCLE and can be SHARP or STABBING, (due to the blood being stagnated), better with warmth, worse with cold, decrease in PROM. Examples are acute torticollis, frozen shoulder. Skin pores are closed, no sweating, may have chill. Usually better in MID-DAY and worse in early morning (as pt. warms up they get better).

P: Superficial, floating, tight and slow

A

PAINFUL BI (Cold) aka Han-Bi

One must differentiate between damp and phlegm here. With DAMPNESS, the edema will be diffuse and soft to the touch, and the pain will not really be excruciating. PHLEGM can produce nodules and joint deformity and is a progression of dampness.
T: thick, sticky, white coat
P: soft, slowed, slippery

A

Fixed (Damp) Bi aka Shi-Bi

54
Q

Treatment Strategy for Damp Bi

A

Expel and dry dampness, also expel wind and scatter cold, unblock the channels, strengthen spleen qi.
