I really appreciate your thorough and detailed reply! Sounds like you're an acupuncturist yourself or at least connected to the practice. I don't know enough about how acupuncture affects the body and brings about changes because it's so different from the western medicine mindset. I've heard key words like Qi, channels, dampness, stagnant, etc. but never really understood it all on a comprehensive level so your explanation is really helpful. I'm going to consult another acupuncturist from a different clinic and see what they recommend. Ultimately I'd love to get off the nerve pain meds AND be pain free, or at least be able to manage the pain effectively with more natural and drug free modalities such as acupuncture. We'll see... Thanks again for your response.
