Hi @roblem, That sounds like the treatment my husband had. He did not have surgery either. My husband tried the regular acupuncture and did not see a difference at all. I am going to do some research on Electrical Stimulation Acupuncture to see if they offer it where we live in Canada. I am so pleased that you had such good results with it. Thank you very much for the information, it is so good to talk to people that have been through the same thing as he has and have recovered as well as you have!
