I never tried acupuncture. I can’t see how that would have helped me. A few years ago, I was suffering from osteoarthritis in both hips. I was bad to the point where I hardly could walk even with a cane.
I was always fit and trim; rode bicycles for many years. I tried shots, but they didn’t last long. What really worked was total hip replacements (both sides). The relief was immediate. My pain level when from 8-9 to 1 the same day as the operation.
I remain pain free (3 years since the surgery on the left side). There isn’t anything I can’t do that I was able to do prior to the surgeries. Best thing I could have done and wished I hadn’t waited as long as I did.
See an orthopedic surgeon and get opinions on whether something like that could help.
