Pain Clinic is aptly named
Last night I had my first visit at the TSCA Pain Clinic. It's different from the regular appointments that I have on Saturdays, as they really pinpoint the places that hurt and try to directly relieve the pain. Ironically, it's by causing more pain.
Well, pain is a relative term here. The discomfort, pressure and heaviness that I felt I was supposed to feel, according to them, as the needles were "releasing" stuff in my muscles. I was very sore when I got up from the table and am still a bit sore this morning, but the big knots that were working on seem to be smaller in size. Yay! I have two more sessions with them in addition to the regular Saturday appointments, so let's hope this continues to improve.
