Just wondering...has anyone had any success with acupuncture for relieving endo pain? I’ve tried most things to no avail and someone mentioned trying this.

I've not had it for my endo pain specially but did have it for migraines. It really helped. More than one session is vital though. Also I had it with a retired nurse and it helped somewhat. Then went to a fully fledged Chinese man who was qualified as a medical dr in the dodgey end of town. After 2 sessions I improved so much. So try and get a recommendation? Or try more than one place to find what suits you?

Hi DAML8, I have had acupuncture for endo and stress and it really works well or at least it did for me. It's seems to work better when they leave the needles in for longer if that helps. I would advise finding a practitioner who knows all about endo and specialises in it. Hope it gives you some relief x
