Re: Does acupuncture work if you don't believe in it?

[pantasma]

Never had it done (phobia), but it seems like it could go either way.

I understand what they do is increase blood flow to the application site, while carrying the increased amount of our very own, in-house painkillers. Whether this provides long term relief or not, I don't know.

My mom had it done for fibromyalgia for a while. After the first month, she started getting bruises at each site, which got progressively worse with each treatment. This may be because she has thin skin and delicate capillaries, or she needed more (ahem) needles at each site, or more aggressively applied -- I don't know. That's how it went for her. But it kind of reminded me of having to increase the dosage of painkillers as the body builds tolerance, with those bigger and bigger bruises. But it worked wonders, for her. She could use her arms again, and it wasn't drugs.

I might have to find out soon, though. I'm in the same boat. So not looking forward. ><;

Did I not have my arm all taped up when you were here?

[forgottenjester]

And I would link a taped up arm to acupuncture because...? (I do not remember if you were tape or not.) I just remember I'm not allowed to talk about the sharp things in acupuncture with you because phobia.

Because you're in my brain. STOP LYING ABOUT IT!

It's my tennis elbow and tendonitis from conducting. But my physio and a GP now think might be a problem with the membrane surrounding the joint at the elbow and wrist because the ulna is moving too much (which friggin hurts every time they test for it!).

So maybe acupuncture for the pain, orthopaedic surgeon and x-rays for the solution.

NEVER!

Oooohhhh. I'm sorry.
