I have had a knee pain due to the inflammation of bone joints for almost two months. I have taken anti-inflammatory medicine and glucosamine but still suffer from the pain. I have to stop my work out activities, including the badminton game which is the major cause of the inflammation.

I heard that many people with the same problem tried the alternative medical treatment, the Chinese acupuncture, and the pain and the inflammation get better. So, today I went to Huachaew Hospital to have the Chinese acupuncture for the first time. It was quite painful when the doctor put the needles to my skin. It was also a little bloody when the needles were taken off. Not a bad experience if the pain would be gone soon. According to the doctor, I need to have the acupuncture treatment at least 5 times to recover from this knee joint inflammation. Let's see if the alternative medical treatment works. ;-)

During the treatment

Twelve needles were put to my skin.
