Acupuncture

[Rookie (Rodney)]

Anybody had it?

Thoughts please? Does it work?

I had it last night, went to the osteopath, and he recommended it, so started shoving some pins into me. Down the right side of my neck, a couple on my right shoulder and down my right arm.

It is hurting more than ever today! Surely this isnt right? I am booked in for the second lot tomorrow morning but not sure if it will do any good?

Well my wife used it to help aid pregnancy and it worked so not sure it helps you.

But one thing the acupuncture lady did say was when treating specific problems the symptoms may feel worse before getting better after 2-3 sessions. If that makes sense?!

He told me it would take 3 sessions before I feel full benefits but ffs this takes the piss. I have had Nurofen today and it still feels worse than ever, I have always managed to get away without using painkillers before.

I guessed that the 3 sessions talk was just so he locks up £100+ from me!

I've heard the same, which is why I never went.  If you're in enough pain to think about a visit in the first place, why would anyone sign up to feeling WORSE?  That said, let's experiment.  You continue with the appointments and let us know if it's truly better after the first few visits.

I don't believe in it for a moment. But.....I had it many years ago, & it seemed to solve the problem immediately. Not sure if it's "all in the mind" or not, but it did the trick for me.

I would caution on one thing though - ffs, make sure the needles are thoroughly sterilised before use.
