Hi everyone, I have a 70 yo female chronic systemic patient with fibromyalgia, with pain everywhere for 40 years, surgeries on both knees, on toes on both feet, and on right rotator cuff. 1 year ago fell to the floor and damaged her shoulder)
After 4 months of EXTORE, herbal medicine and diet, all pains has gone but the shoulders. Before she couldn't move them without pain, now still have pain under minimal resistence. still difficult to do normal life.
She got an MRI with the next results:
Right Shoulder: Full-thickness tear in supraspinatus tendon with 4-5 cm tendon retraction.
Tendinopathy and partial thickness articular surface tearing in the infraspitatus tendon.
Effusion and synovitis in the glenohumeral joint
AC joint arthritis, subacromial/subdeltoid bursitis. Partial tear of subscapularis tendon. Posterior labral tear. Mild supraspinatus muscle atrophy.
Left Shoulder: partial thickness articular surface and substance tearing in the supraspinatus tendon 1 cm from its insertion onto the greater tuberosity. Effusion and sinovitis are seen in the glenohumeral joint.
Full-thickness tear in the subscapularis tendon of the lesser tuberosity with up to 3 cm of tendon retraction. Partial tearing of the long head of the head of the biceps tendon
AC joint arthritis and subacromial bursitis.
Type II SLAP tear.
Subscapularis muscle atrophy
Do you have any suggestions on how to keep treating her?
I have been doing perfusion, working on her serratus, and basically all muscles around the shoulders, and also 20 Hz on her AC joint (but this only 4 times, should I do it constant 2xweek or somehthing like that?
Thank you very. much for your help!
January’s webinar is here! This one is a favorite of mine because it includes the fascial lens when teaching the movement of the foot and ankle. It cover anatomy, fascia, and accessory motion of the foot and ankle. Definitely worth checking out.

Found this the other day and wanted to share. Very good article to external link to show clinical research on many areas with acupuncture along with safety and efficacy in one place.

Sorry for missing the comments — I spent the last four hours in clinic treating 20 patients using electro-acupuncture. The invitation for tonight’s 8:30 PM webinar still stands and is open to everyone, including those who may have expressed themselves less professionally here.
