My acupuncture clinic is an East-West medicine clinic. That means that it uses a combination of Western medicine with acupuncture. Pain management is a difficult thing to accomplish. Sometimes I wake up in terrible pain, and I find that exercising helps the pain, but it took several months of exercising daily before I got any sign of pain relief. I believe there isn't a quick fix to pain relief. We have to just try to be vigilant with what the doctors recommend and hope for the best.The Lupie Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634372382931284916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152676674839448108.post-69460755897079532452008-10-30T05:54:00.000-07:002008-10-30T05:54:00.000-07:00Hello, I am a 26 year old male with Lupus.

I have been having terrible joint pain and I can't seem to manage it. I have tried eating different foods, staying away from chocolate and the likes but it seems every evening and morning, I can't even squeeze the toothpaste out. Does the accupuncture work?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11397781803511003430noreply@blogger.com
