I had my first accupuncture treatment this afternoon. For the past three years or so, I've experienced "twinges" of varying intensity in my left elbow, seemingly unrelated to activity. My conventional doc put me on ibuprofin for two weeks, but that didn't help. A trip to the naturopathic clinic for peat packs and deep tissue massage didn't help. So I thought I'd try accupuncture.
( The discomfort I experienced was not the kind I expected. )
