Acupuncture is not measurably more effective than a placebo, so I would recommend saving your money. *NM* Dreaded Anomaly Send a noteboard - 06/02/2012 08:59:21 PM
I'm wearing a splint or brace, and it helps. My doctor gave me a prescription, so I could claim it through my work benefits. It cost around $40.

You can try massaging the area with an ice cube. Put the cub in a cloth and rub it on the sore spot with slight pressure.

Someone recommended acupuncture, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to go that far yet.
