Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 I have been diagnosed with Severe Osteoarthritis in my left knee. I am 41 years old and overweight so I am not a candidate for a knee replacement at this time. I started Acupuncture two weeks ago. He told me that I would need to give him at least six sessions to determine if Acu would work for me. Friday was my second session. Friday night I could barely walk, I was almost doubled over in pain. Is this natural? Should I be expecting this after each treatment? The week before did not seem as bad. Thanks for any tips you may have. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Keep seeing this doctor, he/she seems to be hitting on your points of interest. Some treatments are no-pain, no-gain sometimes. mollis_mom <mollis_mom wrote: I have been diagnosed with Severe Osteoarthritis in my left knee.
