My big problem at the moment is finding the solution to chronic physical pain from a shoulder injury that I sustained in a fall 6 weeks ago.
Several different meds did nothing to help. After having had success with acupuncture for sciatic pain a few years ago, I tried it again, but this particular injury could not tolerate the electricity that the doctor used. My gut feeling was to go to a different acupuncturist and state that I want the needle insertion only--no electric. I've had 2 sessions this past week and, so far so good. Only time will tell whether the acupuncture will work as well this time around. I was getting set to ask the orthopedist to prescribe codeine or oxycodone (and dreading his response). I decided to hold off until I see the results of the Chinese medicine first.
