the needles go in, does it stop hurting once they are in?
My physio has suggested a a few sessions coz the exercises she told me to do just make the pain worse.
I’ve tried the osteopath first & that didn’t do any good for this back problem – has helped with previous neck problem though.
Spazzie – is that personal experience – sounds horrible?

My husband has had 2 shoulder surgeries. After the first one the injury tore open again, but he didn’t know. (before he met me). After he complained about his shoulder hurting all the time, I convinced him to go to the doctor, they did a MRI, and sewed him back up again. NOW the pain is worse, he practically slings his arm everyday. My aunt referred us to a doctor who did her shoulder surgery (which she’s had no trouble with). He did another MRI and says it looks like the last surgeon sewed everything to tightly, BUT it could be a pinched nerve in his neck too. oiy…. He doesn’t have another appointment for 3 weeks, and the only pain meds they will give him is Ibuprofen.

I’ve heard really good things about acupuncture….has anyone tried it for severe pain? Has it worked?

Thanks!

Has anyone tried acupuncture for Arthritis pain or for thinning hair? Did you take Chinese herbs in conjunction with the acupuncture and if so what is your opinion of the results?
