I make my living by working as a renovator.
I have arthritis, which is probably job-related, or due to aging. Recently I cannot work because of my swollen wrist. The bone above my right wrist was almost doubled in size. This caused me great pain, especially when I tried to turn my wrist.
Last month I went to see a doctor, and was prescribed Indomethacin (50 mg capsules, 3 times per day, for 3 weeks). The medication did provide me some relief, but it had side effects (mainly stomach upset and nausea). Besides, most of the swollenness was still there.
Last Monday I decided to seek acupuncture as an alternative treatment. I found the name Dr. Ivy Pang from Google Search.
I have received 4 acupuncture treatments up till now (each session lasting about 80 minutes). So very glad that there are obvious great improvements – in fact I can now turn my wrist freely. Hope to start working sometime next week.
My hands and feet are often quite cold, even in summer. On top of that, I discovered recently that there are small lumps bulging out in my thighs. Probably something related with my job. Doing clerical work, I have to sit almost 8 hours a day.
Last week, I went to see Dr. Pang twice, receiving "cupping and acupuncture".
I do find some improvements today - my hands and feet seem warm and my thighs have regained "normal contour".
