Acupuncture first time

I’m still struggling somewhat with [tag]fitness[/tag]: my left leg has been seriously cramped and painful for the past few weeks. Thank $(deity of choice) it’s actually not too bad when [tag]cycling[/tag] on and I’ve been able to put a couple of decent rides in over the Christmas.

It’s been so bad that amazingly for me, The Procrastinator Champion of the Universe, I actually rang my doctor yesterday, the first workday since the holidays, and arranged an appointment for today.

I like my doctor, he’s a [tag]medical doctor[/tag] but also a [tag]homeopath[/tag] and [tag]alternative therapies[/tag] kinda guy. Today after a little physiotherapy I was treated to some [tag]acupuncture[/tag] – first time I’ve had it. It wasn’t a full session, only 5-6 minutes, but I can feel some positive change in my leg already – still sore but a lot more movement. Hopefully it continues to improve so quickly :)
