I also have tried acupuncture and had to stop as the Dr and i both agreed it wasn't working. I also have a pinched nerve in the neck which was trigger point so that was an issue. The flares make it hard to find the pain centers/ Be glad they didn't just keep putting you in pain and taking your money.

I had acupuncture several years ago, personally it worked for me, but only while I was on the table with the needles in me, the minute the needles came out, the pain returned with a massive vengeance the pain was horrific!
I really don't think that stopping suddenly will do any harm but if you feel that it was helping, then fight to get back on it. 🙋

I use and did help when i had bells palsy

Everyone says it works great. Thanks for the input
