Acupuncture And Pain

I've had this backache for a week that I felt I needed to see a doctor. And so I did. The first doctor recommended chest x-ray and blood test (CBC). I obliged. If there's something wrong, better learn about it sooner rather than later.

A few years back, I tried acupuncture just for the heck of it. As the needle pricked the point between my thumb and index finger and slowly penetrated my skin, the acupuncturist periodically asked if I can feel pain. And I'd always answer no. After the session, then he told me that I have high tolerance for pain.

The prognosis can go both ways. The downside being that if I feel pain it may be too late for a cure. Well, luckily, the results are good. The doctors didn't find anything wrong. I've been prescribed with Vitamin B supplements. Two weeks and I'll know if there's a need for a check up again.
