First of all, in Chinese medicine you need to know the patient's "Bi
syndrome" belong to Windy- Cold-Damp Bi or Windy-Damp-Heat Bi? Or Liver and
kidney deficiency?

Second, you need to know why the patient needs to do replacement? What is
the diagnosis of Western medicine? Degeneration?RA?

You could use electric stimulation. And also you could use Chinese herbal
medicine for it!

Hope it could help you!

Hello fellow acupuncturists.Hello fellow acupuncturists.<WBR>..I have
treated nerve pain in the past with dubious results....nerves don't like to be
massaged, needled or otherwise messed with. Have a new patient who was told
he needs a knee replacement, but wants to get through the summer and keep
playing golf. He has "nerve pain" along his fibula. I've treated him twice
using my typical acupuncture protocol for knee pain including moxa. I need
to make a difference as fast as possible as this patient is very influential
in the recognization of acupuncture. I'd appreciate all the help I can
get...and would anyon
Thank you,
