HI, @adriennes - Thanks for the update. Will you share more about why you think the massage and cupping made things with your PTS worse and why the pilates and walking seem to be working well?
@chriso12345 - how did your next appointment and the EMG go?
@missme - are you still using the compounded cream with lidocaine, guaifenesin, ketoprofen and magnesium you mentioned some time ago? If so, is it helping you?

I have had PTS since May 2017. I was able to return to work in August 2017, with pain meds. I began accupuncture in October 2017. As of January 2018, I have been off all pain meds and now only have mild pain in my upper arm. I highly recommend accupuncture treatment. After meds, pt, and nsaid cream with lidocaine, the most effective treatment was the accupuncture.

@lisalucier - next appointment with EMG is Tuesday, November 6th. Symptoms seem to have stabilized somewhat in the last 2 weeks. Arm pain is much better. Pinkie finger is normal. Everything else on right hand is a crazy combination of numb, painfully swollen, and hypersensitive. Started wearing a thin cotton glove wrong side out (seams hurt) to bed. Husband calls me Michael Jackson and that’s okay.
