Pain Relief From Acupuncture?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

Hi all! I have heard a lot of mixed reviews in general about how effective acupuncture is. So, I'm curious how effective it has been for any of you with fibro pain, especially during flares. If you have done it, did you apply directly to the pain or elsewhere? How many times did it take to get relief? Was it long-term or short-term relief? Wondering if it's worth the cost. Thanks!

Hi, I have tried acupuncture. It didn't help, on the contrary, I think my body doesn't resonate with it. I tried few qualified people just to be sure ..but is not working for me. I have headache daily and migraines 2-3 times/month. Also lots of pain and flares up in my joints, big pain..acupuncture didn't help me with any of this. This is, of course, my personal experience.

Hi..I tried it and it seemed to help. However....I had to go 2 a week then Dr wanted ongoing 1 a week. Way to expensive for my pocket book and I had to give it up. I would make sure the dr tells you many visits and how long. If I had known it was to be ongoing I would have never gotten involved. Good luck 😏

I had relief from headaches the same day. It will usually cut the all over pain down as well for 3-5 days
