Expert Posts: 3514	Take a soft ended pen and find the depression right behind the ear on the neck. This is the BL 10 acupunture point. Hold you horse loosely so he can respond freely. Move the pen back and forth across the point. Does the horse twist his head sideways? This indicates there is hip/hock or stifle pain in the OPPOSITE side rear end. To isolate the pain further, find another acupuncture point (GB28) -- 1 inch above the point of the hip. Move the pen front to back around that point. If he flinches, it's hip or hock pain. To separate hip from hock pain, find the head of the thighbone and circle it with your pen. If he reacts it's a indication to look at the hip. Now find BL36, B37, and BL 38. Take the pen and run it very quickly down this line -- the vertical groove between hamstring muscles, If he reacts in the top part (BL36) it's a hip; if he reacts in the middle part (BL37) it's a stifle. If he reacts in the lower end (BL38) it's a hock. To isolate stifle pain, run the pen back and forth under the hip bone (ST26) and see if you find a reaction. Another place to confirm stifle pain is the point (BL21) behind the last rib along the bladder meridian (which is about 8" below the backbone). Check for soreness there. To isolate lower back pain, run the pen from the top of groove between hamstrings to the top of his rump looking for a reaction. Run the pen right besdie the spine from his tail to the top of his rump, and if you get a reaction there, its nerve pain similar to sciatica

Expert Posts: 3514	I would treat the hocks and stifles. Bathe both hocks and stifles with your pain x. Leave it in one spot till horse licks their lips,drops the head etc. If you had access to a laser, that would work better.
