I have been struggling with a series of injuries over the last several months. I decided to take this treatment into my own hands. I visited a highly-rated acupuncturist in the city who used a new needle technique I've never experienced. This made a huge improvement on the pain I was suffering in my elbow, but I quickly realized a new problem had emerged. There was horrible nerve pain now in my arm. This was very scary as it prevented me from doing several things, and as someone aggressively pursuing a boxing career, I was scared my future was jeopardized. I waited several weeks for the pain to subside, but it never did. So, I looked up a specialist in NYC who could help me. I went online and found a doctor with amazing reviews, a great website, and clips online that gave me a lot of confidence he could help me. So, I booked a quick appointment and went in to get help. This turned out to be the weirdest doctor/patient encounter I've ever experienced. Have you ever had an uncomfortable encounter with your doctor? Let me know down below!
