Flows of Life

I am not sure as some of you might not belief that acupuncture really works or not.
But through my first experience of having one yesterday,
it actually do work.

Despite being of scared of needle. :P
The irritating pain occur both on my knees especially on my left knee,
made me decide to see the acupuncture 'sifu'.

I have problem getting up after kneeling, or unfolding my legs can sometimes be quite painful
and each time that I run, pain occurs.

So during that day of the appointment with the 'sifu'
I have been inserted with 4 fine filiform needles into specific points on each knee.
Those needles are left there for 30 minutes, and each knee is being heated up with
some heating device over the needles for 15 minutes.

Well it look something like this,

(note: this is not my leg)

Anyway, after the acupuncture treatment I did not feel any pain
after doing some squats and unfolding my legs.
I have not tried running yet, will leave this matter later as I do not want to hurt my knee again.
Well, in think that acupuncture do really work!
However, I am not sure whether it cure the cartilage of the knee, but it really relief the pain.
And it work every penny I paid! :)

Even this research says that acupuncture do relief the pain:
