Because I think this deserves it's own thread:

Dry Needling - I have in the past two weeks had this done twice, it is extremely painful. I had it done in the pec minor muscle both times. However, it was a great diagnostic. The day of the dry needling I felt terrible, the next day I felt bad, the following day decent, and then that night I went to bed and woke up with in the morning with my arms above my head and my hands were NOT asleep. That hasn't happened in 10 years! Then that day I felt pretty good, I thought maybe I should go do something fantastic, like paint the ceiling, but my muscles are too weak for that, also I did still have some symptoms, but it was a major improvement. Then the next day symptoms came back, by the day after that, everything was back to prior to the dry needling.

The second time the PT also did the traps and either side of the lower neck between the C5 to C7 area.

9 days to surgery, I go to Denver in 6 days, I am extremely excited!!

Who else has had dry needling??? I wonder if I had started this 10 years ago where I would be today. What were your experiences like???
