I may have to do this. Ongoing back pain & a left knee that sounds like a gravel pit when I flex it ... acupuncture indeed.
not from the new age purveyors of wellness though i'm sure there are some that can provide relief but the old Asian guys (racist) are the ones i look for relatively inexpensive most of the time as well (Cho is $55) although you may find yourself in a backroom of his house hard for them to maintain storefront and they may advise additional herbs (not sure if those do anything)
My doctor gave me a proctological exam in his back room once too. It was kind of weird. It was a Saturday night at 11 PM. He turned off the lights as well. Pretty sure he was a legit doctor...
But seriously folks ... Wife and I have wondered about an acupuncturist here in the OC before we head east. I imagine the there's one like your guy in Garden Grove or Westminster...

Dr. Lee Dongkun (no homo) on Katella off the 55 frwy in Orange. Daughter treated for her injured shoulder playing volleyball. Worked wonders...
That's me - Ricky Racist! I'm the worst racist ever though. Never burned a cross, don't own a hood, never rode a horse in the dark, never terrorized minorities. I really need to work on my skills... I'm a slacker cracker.
One thing you learn by being the oldest guy, is when you read that a guy's knee sounds like a gravel pit, you're pretty sure you know what it is...arthritis. If you're bone on bone, or near that point, acupuncture may relieve it somewhat, but it won't replace lost cartilage. Losing some weight will most likely help. I never tried acupuncture for my many osteo problems, though. My experience with acupuncture is that it fucking hurt, and did zero to help my tinnitus. Good luck.
About a year and a half ago my right knee started hurting me like a SOB. Went to the doc and they diagnosed it as arthritis. He gave me a knee brace and sent me on my way. Didn't help much. Ran into an old friend a short time later (he had a bad football knee) and he said he got relief from taking this stuff. I got it at Costco. He said if it was going to work for me it would take a couple of months. He was right and I've been taking it ever since and have no pain in that knee.
100% correct. Losing weight will help my issues more than anything else i I do. The back issues are both weight and nerve based. I've got a damaged L5 vertebrae. Thing looks like a trapezoid on the Xrays.
The weight issues are a gut problem. As in you have bacteria in your gut addicted to mucus creating sugar and starch. Mucus that feed mutant cells that can become malignant tumors over decades of even low level of insulin resistance. You must kill your gut bacteria. So new flowers bloom. Instead of old moldy bread and sugar water. Which create the swamp from which all kinds of demons try to flux. If you want to know how to kill the demons inside the great serpent that encircles the pit of your stomach all you gotta do is ask. Once you lose the demons that surround you you will feel like you just took a huge load off your back. Or more like if a huge tire was removed from your waist so you could run on it again instead of it running you. Don't blame me if some of the fat goes to your head. That's just good cholesterol for the nerves No matter what you look like you will feel like a new man. Maybe even half the man you used to be. Like me. But you have to make a sacrifice. To change your life there is a cost. The demons gotta die. But the demons are weak and deviled like fancy eggs or this generation. So you need to scare them. They die of fright. And then they become good little angels. Probiotics that help you get the most nutrition from your food while processing sugars and starches properly. Because of right now sugar and starches are burned for energy in a dirty and non renewable way. That is the cause of your health weakness. If you starve the enemy within for 3 days the enemy becomes so weak that it gets scared and most of it's defenders flee their post and get shit out. After 3 days you start eating but a raw diet of herbs and roots and nuts and leaves designed to reprogram your cellular makeup and turn you back into a vampire so you no longer have to live as a ghoul possessed by demons. Being a vampire isnt bad at all. Just be wary of christians stabbing you in the back with a wooden dagger they call a jesus cross. The dangers of being a vampire is that sometimes the dagger goes all the way to the heart. And that's when you have to turn into your final form. But about your diet. Do you get plenty of onions and garlic in your blood? Or is it all sausage cabbage and potatoes lol
You've seen me eat, brohim. You know the deal ... Fact is, I go through phases. Sometimes, I'm amazingly focused. Sometimes not. Lately ...not. Anyway...surprisingly, I rarely consume nightshade. Few potatoes and I loathe cabbage. Sausage. Oh yeah. Fuck yeah. Onions & garlic? Double fuck yeah. I'd say I eat three cloves of ajo and one red cebolla a week. Seriously. So maybe the sausage cancels the other. I don't know.
