It's more under control
Panic from pain
When my pain was not being controlled and I was so absolutely miserable I just decided to try some massage to see if that would bring any relief at all. My first oncologist, I asked him about the idea and he was just like "There is nothing wrong with you Valerie. You don't need any treatment for this." I became more open to it through the therapeutic massage. Through changing doctors. My current physician is very open and very aware of the pain relief benefits of acupuncture.
