OWWWWWEEEEEEE! The physio has been doing ultrasound on him, which has been doing no good! So, today she said about accupuncture, got the form to sign and did it! She put 2 in right on his really sore bit on his right knee...OMG Ian would have screamed if he was at home! He was in pain!!! I hope they help!

He doesn't know...he's had them for about 4 years, before we was with me and they started playing up every now and then. It's the back end of this year they've been really bad though!

well, he had xrays done last year...the Drs didn't say anything was wrong but the physio looked at them and said he's got lumps on the back of his knee caps that shouldn't be there! Whether it's swelling or the actual knee she can't tell though!

Nope...if none of these help he's going to have further steroid injections then they mentioned doing MRI after that!

accupuncture is supposed to be amazing, but i often wonder if these things are more about what you think and the way you think. I hope it works

yeah the physio said it stope the brain receptors pushing pain down...it can ease it or stop it completely! I hope it's the latter!
