Hi everyone, maybe some one can help me!!! I have scoliosis and since I have been pregnant I haven't gone to my chiropractor, so my pain is horrible. When I lay flat on the floor the pain is even more sever. Anyone have any idea's on how to deal? I actually scheduled a acupuncture session ( at the Pacific Oriental College, I'm broke and they are only about compared to the normal -100!), does anyone know if it relieves any pain while pregnant? I take Tylenol once in a blue moon, but I don't really like medication of any kind, and I don't want to be taking it every day, I don't wanna hurt my boy! Any suggestions on relieving back pain (especially lower) is welcomed! Also, I have been doing yoga and it really hasn't been doing so much...downward dog helps for the moment, but ya know, it doesn't stick!

I suffered severe nerve & mammary duct damage following surgery to remove two breast lumps in July, 2005. The pain is unbearable .I can no longer work or sleep more than a couple hours at a time because the knife-stabbing pain awakes me.

The pain covers the entire left side; breast , chest, rib area and left arm down to my fingers. The mammary duct pain from being damaged during surgery is horrifying- I feel like I am being stabbed with a large knife.

I tried a procedure in which a doctor injected me 9 painful times with a huge needle, trying to block the nerves completely; it didn’t work. Pain medications do nothing for me.

I’ve sought help from seven doctors, two of which were pain specialists.

I now prefer trying alternative medicine.

Has anybody tried acupuncture for nerve pain/mammary duct damage? If so, was it successful?

I am also seeking referrals for FEMALE acupuncturists in the Livermore/Pleasanton, CA area. It is important she be compassionate, capable, and has no sense of arrogance. I have really been poorly treated by doctors following this surgery and can not handle any further emotional damage; the physical damage is draining enough.

Any information is greatly appreciated! Peace!

Has anyone tried acupuncture for neck/upper back and shoulder pain? I am sick of taking all these pills, that make me feel groggy and tired. Plus the pain is really dulled, not gone. I was thinking of trying acupuncture. Opinions anyone????

My uncle went for an acupuncture session, and now his back and left leg hurt, like allot, he can't get up, we tried to call the guy that did it but his not picking up. Anyone know why , and do you know any remedies for the pain?

( medicine like tramal )
