Hi everyone fed up with the pain and stiffness all down my left side. Pills that don’t work, so decided to go down a different route of hypnotism. As we are told we have to retrain your brain I thought why not give it a little help lol. Got my first session on the 12th of April at 12 o’clock . so if you see somebody running around doing chicken impressions, it might be me

A pal of mine has suggested this and he is a trained qualified theatre nurse who has a keen interest in hypnosis as part of recovery. I would be keen to hear how you get on.
I mey well take a similar path
Cheers

I’m intrigued by this, not that I could afford it myself. Is it expensive?
Hope it goes well
All the best 
Hi everyone had my first session with the hypnotist today, not very successful as I wouldn’t go under. Had a good chat on what he was going to do, was very interesting and very helpful. My problem was I couldn’t relax to be told to relax means I have to really think about it and to do that I can’t relax I know that might sound daft he spoke about myself, conscious mind, that’s the one he wanted to talk to and to do that. I’ve got to let my mind relax. I think it was all too much for me to take in and I’ve got a bit mixed up in my brain. It’s not like a hypnotist on the TV where he just walks over and says sleep and they’re asleep.
2 hours. I was in there for five times. He tried, but hey Ho. I’m i’m not going to give in. He says he will try again. This session I can have for nothing. What is very good of him I thought:joy: waiting for a text from him when he will next be in Rickmansworth, so I will keep you all informed Best wishes everyone Martin

@Martin shame it didn’t go so well today but fingers crossed next time will be better. I know what you mean about trying to relax to order. Good you’re giving it another go.
Sorry it didnt progress for you as you wanted yesterday but good job not giving up. I know exactly what tou mean about habing to think hard about relaxing, im the same.
Be good to hear more about your ongoing experiences.
My neuro physio uses acupuncture which i find does work for muscle pain and tightness.
Cheers Andy

Hi Nigel
Ive visited physios for a number of years for various injuries treatment and recovery and they are placed strategically in various trigger points to relieve pain. Ive had needles in my achilles and the back of my knee before now but post stroke the ficus now is on my frozen shoulder.
I would chat to your physio about it. They dont hurt going in or coming out…

I’ve had acupuncture in both my knee and hip in the past and it’s worked for pain, though the hip eventually had to be replaced anyway. And as @TRFCANDY53 says, it doesn’t hurt.

Hi had my first Acupuncture session on Tuesday I felt a bit like a pincushion she seemed to put them all over my body, even one in top of my head. Ouch, that one hurt. Then after taking them all out, gave me a massage.nothings happened as yet but she said it will take a few sessions so I’m going to go once a week for a little while see what happens. Hope all is well with you all. Martin
