RLS and Acupuncture

Acupuncture tacks. I was having acupuncture and my RLS kicked up. The acupuncture was putting needles ( or what they use) down my spine between the shoulder blades but lower. The RLS stopped immediately.

When my RLS starts my husband puts a tack where I have a divit or a slight depression beside my spine to stop the RLS.

It's been few years using the tacks, still works.

Good that it appears to help. But are you also still taking 4mg of Ropinirole (max dose), 2 x 100 mg pregabalin and 2 x 150mg Bupropion Sr daily?

Not what you're looking for?
