Acupuncture

I had my first go with acupuncture today. It was kinda cool. He only did my left side since most of my issues are there. I felt really relaxed and loose afterwards! I am really working on proving my surgeon wrong haha! I know it's my muscles causing all the problems. I am trying to have an open mind about the alternative therapies I have been trying lately. So far I have noticed a little bit of an improvement in my pain level and my ROM is better. Woo hoo! Trying to get used to these baby steps forward. Here are a couple of pics taken of my acupuncture session. One pic shows the needles in me, hooked up to the electrical stimulation and the other shows the cupping after the needles have been removed.
