[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 209343"] Thank you for all the advice and feedback. I firmly believe knowledge is power and if I go into a place and don't know what to expect, I'm highly anxious and - believe it or not with as outspoken as I am - I become very meek. My GP knows this guy she's hoping to get me into and she really likes him. I trust her judgment. And since she knows him, I'm hoping there will be a lot more communication back and forth than we've had with the other specialists. My concern is functionality. I don't need the pain to be erased. Just at a lower level so I can function. If I'm out of it, there really is no point in having pain mgmt. It would serve no useful purpose for me. And that's my concern. I want to make sure that we try every other available option that may be helpful and not just medications. medications, for example, are not going to help with range of motion. SRL, to answer your question I have not had acupuncture. My insurance doesn't cover it and I can't afford it out of pocket right now. I've been wanting to try it, though. I've heard a lot of good things about it. [/QUOTE]
