looking like a human cactus...

My acupuncturist used many more needles on me for my final treatment than he used for the others and that because the treatments hadn’t worked quite as well as anticipated. He put several in my back, close to my spine, that actually made me jump from the unexpected pin prick. The good news is that the series has worked out pretty well. Yes, I still have a little pain in my heel, but nothing like what I started with. I can walk for a couple of miles at lunch with no ill effects. I’m still holding off on ukemi (breakfalls) practice for now, but expect to resume in the near future. The test will be how I feel in a week or two. Will the heel pain return, continue to improve, or remain the same?
