[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey OP, Sorry you're feeling so crummy.   I'm the very very pro-dry needling poster from earlier this fall. Can I ask why you haven't tried it?  It's certainly not going to hurt anything and it can only help.  I ask because I, too, was waking up in severe pain with muscle spasms and stabbing, awful pain (I have lovely memories of one night on a vacation in Mexico when I cried in a hot bathtub at 3 am trying to stop the pain.)  I went through months and months of PT to no avail.
The dry needling fixed me. I mean really and truly fixed me.  Please give it a try, I think you'll be kicking yourself that you waited this long.

Hi there, I was just thinking (for maybe the tenth time!) about your posts on the dry needling.  I think I haven't tried it for a few reasons - 1) because I've never done acupuncture of any sort, and it kind of freaks me out a bit, 2) The orthopedist and PT sad PT should fix the problem, dry needling as a last resort (I did ask about it), and 3) the PT seemed to be working until that last "run" when the pain started again!  But anyway, I'm seriously considering just calling the rec you suggested to try the needling, rather than going back to PT (which was really hard to fit in with having to take off from work for 2 hours to go each time).

I'll post back and let you know what I do!  It would be next week at the earliest, as I'm heading out of town tomorrow.[/quote]
