I completely agree about nerve pain constantly gnawing at you. Accupuncture also help me more than anything else and I was shocked. My pm suggested it 18 months post op. The acupuncturist claimed that had I begun treatment at 6 months, treatment would have been more effective.
If I had to put a number on it, I'd say I improved 60-65% with acupuncture and was able to get off most drugs.
Not all practitioners are as qualified as they claim. Ask around if you want to give it a try.
