All pain gone after one "test"

Interesting, thanks. Alcohol is out for me as I've been sober for 14 plus years now.
One thing I tried recently, just for fun while on a cruise, is acupuncture. I was treated for my upper and lower back.
My back is very stiff in the am and takes a while to loosen up. After my first acupuncture treatment, my entire back was relaxed, and I woke up without any lower back stiffness.
I'm going to keep doing acupuncture. Medicare Part B covers 12-20 treatments/year for the lower back, although I plan on doing more.
Joe

Great news! Did you find an acupuncturist who takes Medicare? I did it last year, filled out the Medicare forms, sent in for reimbursement. Got nothing back rom Medicare. Gosh, since it cover 12 to 20 treatments a year, doing it monthly over a year, plus a bit more could give a year of relief. Think I’ll try and find a person in northern california who takes medicare where I don’t have to submit the forms myself and wait for no payment back from Medicare
Hey Joe, glad to hear acupuncture helped you. I do that too re get the most benefit i can from the medical plan & depending on funds keep taking treatments that do or might help. It couldn't relieve my situation but i really like it & sleep a bit better the evening of treatment. Good for you & yaye re the Cruise. NICE one.@heyjoe415

Wow, I hope someone out there can get relief like you did with acupuncture.
I did try it half a year ago but didn't notice any improvement, unfortunately.
I'm reasonably sure mine is inflammation occurring after nerve damage throughout my body from Lyme disease.
