I get an awful lot of pain in my palsied side, which is really hard to explain to anyone as it's like lots of red hot needles being stabbed in your face plus muscle spasms which hurt like hell! Then when I explain I have no feeling in that side and no controlled movement, people look at me as if I'm making it up! Even doctors!
So I discovered online that this piercing could possibly help. It is on an acupuncture point! I'm pleased to say the pain has diminished and the muscle spasms have totally gone! I would definitely recommend it to anyone!
