Last time I mentioned acupuncture, a reader suggested that I was getting involved in quackery. I assured him I was not but rather just relating my own experiences. Reader can take what they wish from it. Just to briefly recap.  About 20 years ago I had a disc prolapsed in my lower back which required surgery which fortunately was successful.  I had no problem for about 19 years and then last year the problem reoccurred. I was in severe pain and could hardly walk, couldn’t sit down, couldn’t lie down or stand without the pain. I had an X-Ray and a MRI which confirmed that it was the same problem as years ago. I made an appointment with the surgeon in New Zealand to have the operation. I was in Thailand at the time. Just before flying back to NZ someone suggested that I try acupuncture. Although I was skeptical about it I figured there was nothing to lose.  Over the next couple of days I had three treatments and I noticed a definite improvement. The next day when I got back to NZ I saw the surgeon as I had a booking to have the procedure done a couple of days later. I told him about the acupuncture and that I was feeling a bit better. The clinic I went to in Bangkok is a branch of a famous London clinic run by Professor Mei.  I met the Professor who was confident that he could fix my back without surgery.
