My Chinese Accupuncture Doctor treated my shoulder with enough needles that I could have gone to a masquerade as a porcupine. She says I have a pinched nerve. She put me on a week's worth of chinese herbs, what they are I have no idea. I got two more bottles of her own linament to be used three times a day. It smells like camphor and gets cold and then hot when applied. Since I am on the chinese herbs I cannot do the Liver Flush for one week. I got a little relief from the pain. If it is not a lot better in the morning I may go back for one more accupuncture treatment.
