PAIN MANAGEMENT/ acupuncture?

[Guest guest]

Hi all.

It appears to me some had good success with acupuncture. I have one foot not

only afflicted

with RA, but an injury 4 yrs. ago. It is my most severe weight bearing joint

and keeps me off

my feet. It is chronically inflamed with atrophy. I do not had adequate pain

relief with pain

meds.

I wonder if I can try acupuncture for a joint that is extremely tender and

chronically inflamed.

Are needles appropriate for highly sensitive or painful areas? Just wondering

cause I'm running

out of pain management options. Thanks guys.

Dawn
