My friend G. recommended an acupuncturist to me so I'm all set, once she calls me back.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Megan, I think Lori's had acupuncture.
I've heard good things about the place on Wionsor Street. I think it's called North Wind, and they do acupuncture there.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
The kind of treatment where they do electricity at the acupressure points instead of sticking a needle in works just as well, according to a study I read about in Skeptic Magazine (which concluded that acupunture did indeed work). So if you don't like needles, there is another option with the same effect.
I also
strongly
recommend that you do not try to use a muscle that has a needle stuck in it. That experience is definitely right up there in the pain-I-have-undergone list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My treatment involved both electricity and puncture -- electricity was shot down some of the needles.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

That's the type I've been getting, along with massage.
'Twas weird.
That it is...

I just had the needles, but they felt tingly and electric on their own. (And excruciating, when I tried to sit up to look at the ones in my stomach.)

Uh, did they make you talk or did you escape?

I am now afraid. Very afraid. Though I feel that after having cortisone injections directly into my sinuses, I can do anything.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Megan, from what I hear they barely hurt.

I'm willing to try anything so I hope the hurty is minimal.
