Thumbs up had acupunture yesterday

I went to a chiropractor yesterday and received acupunture. It was so relaxing. She thinks I have a myofascial problem. I will say I think I'm 10% better today. Still have pain in neck and shoulders but I feel less stiff. I'm going back next Friday for the full acupuncture treatment. She told me to double up my fish oil. She also said that compared to everyone else I have difficulty standing due to my condition. She said I had some of the worse tension and tightning in my neck and shoulders she has ever seen. I pray this will give me some relief. She is really expensive but my insurance will pay 60%. She said she really thought she could help me. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Re: had acupunture yesterday

I'm glad it helped you! I was thinking about trying acupuncture, did your doctor refer you to someone? Also can you feel the needles going into your skin, I'm scared about that?

As long as it helps, it's a good thing.

I felt a couple of the needles but it wasn't really painful. More like a pinch. After they are in, though, you can't feel them at all.
