about 4 years ago i hurt my shoulder severely playing golf, i've been going in and out of physical therapy to some of the best rehabs in nyc over the years i had kind of grown accustom to the annoying pain and discomfort, and i guess come to the conclusion i would have just live with this pain the rest of my life...
then, about 5 weeks ago i woke up and thought i had some painful pimples on my neck, as the days went on they got more numerous and worse. by saturday i went to the doctor and he said i had shingles... not even getting up from his chair, and barely looking up, he handed be a anti-viral prescription and walked out of the room. (fyi, shingles is a re-emergence of chicken pox along the nerve path of your body, and it's not real pretty either... and it occurs mostly due to stress)
striking me on all kinds of levels i was determined to rid myself of this ailment, i had seen a cheezy looking chinese massage/accupuncture place around the corner from my house and i decided i needed to check it out....
so, long story short, after just two visits to the accupuncturist, i recovered from shingles in just over a week! just amazing by any standards. upon subsequent visits the accupucturist addressed the pain in my shoulder and did some cupping on my back to remove additional "dampness" in my spinal cord, which totally eleviated my back pain in like 4 minutes!
now, after almost 5 weeks, i feel better than i have in a long while. my shoulder has very little discomfort and i really think i'll be 100% very soon.
i'm really amazed at this type of medical science and i reccommend you try it out next time your not feeling well, you may just be surprised!
just thought i'd share.

thanks guys i am very glad to be healthier, and i am totally blown away by this type of preventative therapy. apparently how it works is, you pay the doctor until you get sick, then when you get sick, you don't pay him. what a crazy concept! i reccomend this to all.

tehgee, i went to see this dr. zhang over in brooklyn, he's also got a practice in long island as well. not only did he help me, but all the other stupid little things i would ask my doctor about that he would never fix, like a stupid rash on my arm and stuff, he fixed that too! he sends me to china town and i buy these remedies for like 2 dollars and they work great.
the only real downside is, some of his remedies is like tea that taste like ass, i call it ass tea, but after a while you get used to the ass tea and it starts tasting good, but you don't have to drink too much of the ass tea, jsut a little, but that also works!
2000 years of chinese medicine and just to be healthy all you need to drink is ass tea!
dat's crazy, gimme a cup of ass tea!

there is a lot ot be said for acupuncture - and a lot of other traditional chinese medicines and practices.
unfortunately a lot of americans poo-poo it all too quickly and do the same thing you did for so long.
glad you took the time to check it out. when I dislocated my shoudler I went and it worked flipping wonders.
not a miracle cure...but pretty damn close
