acupuncture

I had my first acupuncture - ever, today. For about 10 years - on and off -I have problems -read pain-  with my left shoulder and arm. I usually go to my doctor and get some meds and after a couple week, everything is fine again. But after living with this for 10 years I thought it was time to deal with it and take another approach.

I did go to the doc and I got my usual meds, but I also called a physio therapy centre, close to my apartment, to get some exercise advice and to try acupuncture. So today I got my first 4 needles - 3 in my shoulder and one on my upper hand, between the thumb and my index finger.

I have no fear of needles, (hey, I have a tattoo on my hip) so I had no problem with the procedure, it stings a bit when they rotate the needles, other wise it feels nothing (in my opinion). My next appointment will be on Friday! And I really hope this will work out. I have a work, which occasionally means heavy lifts (did you know that paper could be heavy?) and I need my strenght (and my health) both for work and my private life. And the pain affects my knitting too... So we really want is to turn out well!

Hoppas att det funkar med akupunkturen! Vi arkivarier behöver både kropp och knopp för att kunna jobba - jo jag vet vad 8 cm papper i en kartong väger. Jag går regelbundet till en naprapat vilket jag varmt rekommenderar.

Apropå jobb ska du till Trondheim i september?
