My life for the last week or so has involved being in MAJOR pain. Very limited range of motion in my neck and pain that would shoot down to my fingers and lower back. Today I had my first visit with an accupuncturist. She used accupuncture as well as cupping (1st photo-just an example from Google images) and a type of Chinese massage. The massage was the only part that was painful. I feel better but there is still work to be done. She told me that my body was spasming in lots of areas, which led to the intense pain of working it out during the massage. While I am still in pain, it's not like it was and I am so thankful! It's hard to do my job, which involves crawling around on the floor AND being in and out of the car all day AND carrying lots of heavy things, while in pain. There's a reason that this stuff has been around so long!
