Topic	Have you ever done acupuncture before?
Vol2tex 06/26/19 8:03:58 PM #72:	JACKBUTTMOMMY posted... Vol2tex posted... I have felt even more improvement after my second session. My arm used to be in severe pain after raising it or doing motions for 5 seconds, now I can last a few minutes before I feel any sensation of pain. I am excited to see how things will be after all 5 sessions. Probably because acupuncture works - we still just need more research to figure out how. Im excited for you, too! Good luck. Just remember it isnt for everyone or necessarily a cure-all. My Primary Care doctor gave me a referral to an orthopedic doctor, so I will still get X-rays and evaluate the options. Acupuncture does at least seem to be helpful immediately, though I need to finish all the sessions and assess the pain levels after them and see for how long the improvement works. I've been reading posts on reddit where several people have given anecdotal stories of improvement, but the studies seem to indicate a placebo effect. The reason I tried it in the first place was that this girl told me that a few sessions got rid of her pain and the pain never returned. At the very least, acupuncture isn't harming me and it isn't that expensive, so I have nothing to lose by trying it. --- https://imgtc.com/i/7cQjt43.jpg https://i.imgtc.com/UISXfjE.jpg <cite>Vol2tex posted [p:923892330] in Have you e...
