The pain is spreading and my doctor suggested acumpuncture for the ongoing pain and also for Irritible bowel syndrom. The only problem is, is that it can get expensive.
Acupuncture loves pain.
You won't develop a tolerance to acupuncture. It isn't like a drug that the body develops a tolerance to. The idea that one acupuncture treatment will make your problems go away is erroneous to begin with. Its a process of redirecting the Qi energy that is consistent with your body's needs. If you have complete recovery after one treatment, I'm happy for you, and what they heck, stranger things have happened, but that isn't usually what I tell my patients to expect.
