Abstract
We report a patient whose residual upper limb pain disappeared after treatment with Tokaku-jokitou. An 81-year-old woman developed pain in the left upper limb. Continuous epidural block relieved the pain; however, the patient developed intermittent elevations of body temperature with increased pain after probable infectious colitis, which were characteristic of the Youmeibyouki stage of chonetsu (cycling fever). The patient received Tokaku-jokitou, and the fever and pain subsequently abated.
