questions about alternative treatments and about depression

[Guest guest]

Recently my husband had a work injury which resulted in him needing the

attention of the orthopeadic surgeons. He developed secondary problems in

other areas of the body. In the end he changed doctors so he would be

treated as a whole person and not just a bone that was broken.

This new doctor also practices chinese medicine. He has been using

acupuncture and last time used cupping on my husbands shoulders. That night

my hubby slept for over 5 hours straight.

Has any one else tried these or any other " alternative " treatments with

success?

Hubby is suggesting I visit his new doctor. His attitude is that the

traditional doctors don't seem to have any answers, maybe this guy can help.

Another thing I am interested in is about depression and surgery. I am

wondering if there are any total joint replacement people who have not had

any post op depression in the first 6 months after surgery? Would be

interested to hear.
