I had it during my LEJOG ride a few years ago as I was really suffering with knee pain. At the time it really worked a treat and I didn't suffer pain for the remainder of the ride. However, not sure about it as a long term thing.

Has anyone tried acupuncture here? I have been offered some on the NHS but it couldn't have come at a worser time. I was really looking forward to it but it looks like it's gonna start the same sort of time as my new job... it'd be a 1 hour session for 10 weeks... so I'd be looking to have 10 half-days off as soon as my new job starts... I just feel really bad asking for that much time off especially they are already giving me time off to finish off my PgCert which has had a blow on their budget...
So my question is, is it worth asking? My understanding is that acupuncture only really porovide short to mid term pain relief and it might not wotk at all...
