Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Kathy I've been trying acupuncture now for 19 visits in combination with chiro adjustments. I think it's been helping I have less pain in general. Although the dr tried the acupuncture in my back where the pain is and I was quite a bit worse til the next visit which was 2 days later. He told me I should've called and came in the next day which I thought about but didn't because I didn't want to complain. So now he does the needles in my feet, hands and arms. I did try a different chiro by itself last year and didn't feel like it ever helped me. I've never connected the tightness of my bra to the pain but thinking about it your right that's just how I feel. I'll have to talk to the dr about that and see what he thinks!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I think you might find acupuncture very helpful--you need to find a good provider. See if you know anyone that could recommend someone. I love it. I find it very relaxing and my acu-guy is very intuitive and sensitive and knows how to give me a good treatment.I hope you can find someone!hugs,KateTo: MSersLife Sent: Thu, April 7, 2011 9:26:41 PMSubject: burning back pain I also have burning middle back pain that gets progressively worse during the day.
