Perv Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Does anyone have experience with acupuncture after going to a physician and not having results? I’ve had 5 procedures (3 steroid/cortisone injections and 2 PRP injections) on both elbows for tendinitis with absolutely no positive results. A friend of mine had a similar issue and said he had one session of acupuncture years ago and it was gone and never returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience it that acupuncture can help, but it only stops the pain temporarily and does NOT repair any damage. As the damage is still there, the pain will return.

bust Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 For me all it did was reduce inflammation but little effect on the cause which is degenerative disc. Learnt to live with it and oddly rarely no I have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
