Anyone ever do acupuncture? Is it bullshit?
 

I have these chronic soar pains by my shoulder and some carpal tunnel from sitting at a PC for 20 hours a day. I also have bad insomnia, and I've heard it helps with that too. Is this stuff legit or BS?

accupuncture is amazing. worth giving it a try, it can cure all sorts of things.

I did not like it. Would not do it again.

Cure horniness?

what didn't you like about it?

my mom spent a full summer indoors due to pollen allergies that suddenly hit her in 2003... had to take a lot of meds to cope with the summer of 2004 but "discovered" acupuncture last year... she goes once a month and stays completely off meds.. so she loves it..

I have no idea how it works and frankly don't care.. she is happy and can spend as much time as she'd like outdoors and thats what matters..

My ex husband broke his back....had pain for years...acupuncture helped him.

i know someone who had it done, but it didnt help much...

hmmmkay... it did help a friend recover from a serious knee injury.

I know an ol'Nam Vet he tried it to quit smoking ,that was 20 yrs ago. It worked for him, and he was skeptical

It is 100% bullshit, same thing as Colloidal Silver or magic mexican jumping beans. The only real cure for nearly every ailment known to mankind is Piss in a Bottle?

One word, Placebo

There's been a lot of recent research suggesting that its all in the mind. But if its helping people, who cares? The end is all that really matters.

Wow 20 hrs.. sucks.. my eyes wouldn't last that long

I thought the best medicine was laughter?

....after any type of real medication that is.

It's bullshit.

my g/f had bad headaches now and then and got accupuncture... it definitely works... might be psychological, but whatever...

I did it once when I was sick with what felt like 2 months of mono. Even though there wasn't an immediate relief, I did get over it and have felt great since then. That was 8 years ago.

once and it was not what i thought it was:disgust

Yikes! An airport security nightmare!

i suffered from a constricted pelvic muscle for months from over training my abs...finally gave in and tried accupuncture...it totally relaxed the muscle and i feel great now...im actually off to the gym right now and will be banging out ABS today... ; )

i have bursitis in my shoulder from playing football in HS....u should look into some herbal stuff like quercetin(anti-inflammatory) and Glucosamine. They both will get the swelling down that is internal that you can not see. it really works....google it

Yup, its just placebo. But placebo can actualy work
So whatever makes ya think its helping

ask him...

i guess it works for some people...

it really helped me for a knee problem and twisted ankle, after just one session. I think a lot of its about being totally relaxed. It really doesnt hurt.

When I was a kid I suffered from constant headache. I used to live in Queens NY back then. My mother sent me to some Chinese place where I was left in a room and stuck with needles all over my arms and legs for about half an hour. I went there for a few monthes, I believe. Thew thing is, the headaches went away. So no, I don't think it's bullshit, but it has to be a serious place.

Best medicine is porn. :pimp
