Welcome , I am a new member on this site though I had been reading it for a while . You will get plenty of good information and it helps realizing you are not alone in this fight . I had acupuncture at one point and it unfortunately put me in a flare , but that is me . The one thing I have learned is it seems we all respond differently to the different treatments , meds. , etc. and hopefully you can find your comfort zone of what works for you . I have found one of the most important things for me is confidence in my Pain Mgmt. Doc. , so hopefully you have a good one . Take care !
