Typical! At least you'll be able to complete your acupuncture course.

I should be taking the dogs out.

I'll be glad when the course is finished. I ache like mad now

Is the placing of needles painful, or do they anaesthetise the area first? The mere thought terrorises me.

Must write this birthday card and post it whilst walking the dogs.

Then I must get on with some filing....not done any since I moved here :o

No they don't anaesthetise the area, but I usually don't find it too painful on my knee, don't know how Meg feels? I was once told the more painful it is, the more good it's doing, but don't know if that's true. Sue

Ugh, I'd never find the courage!

I should be out in the garden but it is too hot and humid.

On my hands and neck the needles hurt but don't anywhere else. When they message my neck, hands and back, it REALLY hurts. I have bruises most weeks. Still worth doing though

Let's hope so, Meg, after going through all that.

Oh,dear Sue, sounds like the typical soothing words by doctors before something hurts!

 

It's often right though. The bits of me worse affected are the ones which really hurt. Without the treatment I have a suspicion that I may not still be managing my Mum.

They also say that if it bleeds when they remove the needles that that's a good sign as well. Don't know how true that is either?

 

Need to go and water the garden. Sue

Oh good - another good sign.
