Guest guest Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 how many of you have tried acupuncture and if so...was it effective for you? I was in a car accident in May...man ran a red light and hit my car and another....Not pretty! Anyhow...I now have 3 herniated discs in my lower back, 2 bulging discs and 5 bulging discs in my neck. I have been going to therapy 2-3 days a week for almost 5 months now to no real avail. The Vioxx does seem to help a little but other than that I do not feel any different. I still have headaches too but I did hit my head on the door frame and so I think it might add to the problem with the muscle spasms in my neck. I actually kind of give on it all at this point. ) I am told I should get surgery...especially on my lower back at least...and because there is a cord compression in both areas. I know that is not good and I know there are risks if I were to fall or get in another accident...heaven forbid...but surgery just seems like it should be a last resort and only if I just cannot take this any more or start getting the constant numb/tingling feeling. Some days are better than others of course. So...I am thinking of going alternative and trying acupuncture.Curious to see of that helped anyone here Or maybe other alternatives some of you with similar experiences might know of. Look forward to the responses. Thanks! www.lightthenight.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
