    if it does help, then as I can afford it , and to take pressure off nhs, then in the future I will find a local practitioner of acupuncture

    I see it as maybe easing the pain, anything else ...a bonus

    Good luck with the acupuncture.

    I'm on the NHS waiting list for homeopathy treatment. The wait is about 3 months, so still a while to go until I get to the top of that list! Hopefully be worth the wait tho!

    Hi Bluebeard

    I had some when I went to a pain clinic. It was a great help when I needed it a few years ago.

    I thought it would not work but it did.

    Good luck with yours

    Hi Lois

    I have had the homeopathy, it is really really nice. I doubt you will be disapointed if you have the same as I did, a few years ago now. I picked up lots of tips as well.

    I hope you enjoy it.
