I did the accupuncture. My MO suggested it. He tells me that somewhere on his desk is a study that shows 60% get possitive results. (if you could see he desk!) My thoughts were WTH why not. I paid $35 per treatment. I was given 6 treatments. I am also of the believe that if the sugar pill works, well than take the sugar pill. It doesn't hurt, and it just might help. I was also treated for lower back pain for the same $35.
