I received this question from a former student of mine. This is also something I come across a lot in practice. After asking my patient how she is doing, I'll occasionally get the response, "Not well or I wouldn't be here." Now, I'm more than happy treating your pain.

These are made in mini muffins tins, but could also be made in a square pan and cut into pieces. The muffin tin is just so easy and makes the perfect size portion.
