Acupuncture

Modern medical science is unable to cure the "dead hand" I have.

I'm wondering if acupuncture is a viable alternative... anyone have any good/bad experiences with it?

If I don't get my hand back, I cant play music anymore, and I'm going to straight up lose my mind.

Any information you can give me will be most appreciated.

Dead hand as in paralyized hand? Not sure what you mean, nerve damage?

Acupuncture I've heard can be pretty awesome and/or pretty dangerous, I dont know details about it though and have never done it but I've heard some amazing stories about it helping people who have back problems.

I've done it. It's really fucking awesome. Afterwards I felt like I was starting anew. Once my new job starts up, I plan on doing it every 2 weeks or so for a short while.

Basically, I went in it as a step in resolving a few paranoid/emotional problems I was having at the time, as I had just gone through a surgery. The outcome surprised me. I didn't expect much, but I got plenty.

Try it, but do some hardcore research on the place you go to. Try and make sure the person performing it has been in the practice for a long time, and it actually helps if he's Asian. Sounds retarded, but...well...

Acupuncture is the real deal, sir.

I strained my neck so fucking badly one morning because I was sleeping on my friend's couch. It hurt like a motherfucker, craziest pain I ever had, not to mention I was walking around with my head tilted to the side. I couldn't swivel my head or

, fucking blew.

Then my parents got me an appointment with an acupuncturist. I hate fucking needles, Im like

but my parents already made an appointment so I'm like, alright, its either walking around like a tard or trying this stuff. Alright fast forward, the dude sticks the needles all over my neck and back, didn't hurt, but it felt wierd with 20 needles stuck in my neck and parts of my back. About several hours later, I was able to

, just to make sure, my parents signed me up for 1 more accupunture session. I was like

but whatever.

Yeah the stuff works.

Yeah, make sure he's Asian, but also make sure that he doesn't talk with an Irish accent, and be absolutly sure he can read English!

Anyhow, "dead hand?"
