My shoulder problem

[wombat2u2004]

I'm so sorry your in such pain. What about accupuncture?

I hope you feel better.

Acupunture seems to work well with some people whilst not working at all with others. There are still a lot of people who believe that it's the placebo effect that lessens the pain. I guess I'm just hard headed about those kind of remedies, and because of that, acupunture does absolutely nothing at all for me.

I, personally, have never tried it. But, at the same time, I've seen some wonderful things done with alternative medicine. It just may be worth a shot as a last resort. Especially if caseysmom is one of the ones that it works for. It sure beats risking painkiller addiction.

Debby, I have thought about acupuncture and would not rule it out without trying it.

I think it depends a lot on what you want acupunture to fix. My partner had some done a few years ago for a severe migraine....and it worked almost straight away for her. I have been treated twice for calcerous spur growths in my neck vertebrae....it never worked at all for me....but maybe that was because of the nature of my ailment at the time. I mean, they don't even really understand the mechanisms that make acupunture work...or not work.
But yes....I agree that it should be tried.....hey....nothing ventured...nothing gained....right ????

so how is your shoulder today? and please tell me, after i enjoyed looking at the new furniture and cute dogs, you didn't lift/tote/carry the stuff in?

Have you tried Monavie?

My mom has been taking it for a little while and her shoulder doesn't hurt her anymore. It would probably be better than taking Rx meds for an extended period. Just a thought.

Actually we got the new furniture in January....

Gemini, at first I thought that was wine

Where do you buy that?

Edit to add...my shoulder is just awful, Friday it felt a bit better and then it was horrible again Friday night and on until now. I did go to a chiropractor who used electroids to try to break up the calcification, I don't know if it will do any good or not but I am desperate.

Nights are the worse, not sure what I will do when I run out of vicodin. I feel like Dr. House.
