Acupuncture and PMR

I have had extensive acupuncture in the past year treatment post Prednisone. I decided this week to stop for a while as I had a PMR flare up and the pain from the needles was excruciating. At best I found acupuncture increased my energy and gave temporary pain relief. I’m not sure how much it helps the underlying inflammation. I used a traditional Chinese practitioner but there are many others who practice and some may be more helpful than others. Definitely worth trying it in my opinion.

My treatments at first were specifically targeting inflammation. It worked wonders! I go every two weeks for maintenance and know it has really helped me.

I feel a bit drained the next day, like a demon has been exorcised!
