Question i'm writing to ask a second opinion about a condition that i've been seeing an
acupuncturist for. i've been taking acupuncture for about 6 months, every 2-
3 weeks, and while i've experienced some relief from my symptoms, even my
practitioner is confused by the lack of improvement.
i've always had a very healthy lifestyle, but a few years ago i was taking
ephedra. after a year of doing so, i knew i was endangering my health and
couldn't do it anymore. i just stopped one day, cold, and from that day my
belly swelled up like a balloon and it's been that way ever since.
i used to have a lot of pain in my gut and liver, but acupuncture has taken
that away. however, the swelling is still there, and while it's not painful, it's
very uncomfortable.
the only thing i can compare it to is being bloated while on my period. it just
lasts all the time.
my acupuncturist has been working on points related to my stomach and my
liver--usually the needles go into my abdomen and my legs. i'm also taking
an herbal formula, mu xiang.
in the last couple of weeks, my lower legs have started to hurt. the pain is
located on the outsides of my shins, and it feels like tingly pressure. i feel it
sometimes in the top of my feet, as well.
i'm hoping that the pain means the treatment is starting to work better. but
i'd really like to hear another acupuncturist's opinion about what might have
caused it and if there's anything i could do better to relieve the huge bloating.
thank you so much!
Answer I think you need a proper pulse diagnosis by an expert in your area to reach to the root cause of your problem. Only on the basis of your history I'm not in a position to give you any advice. If six months treatment did not help you much it means you need to get yourself reexamined and change the line of treatment.
