What does the inside look like?
I’d guess a weirdly shaped zucchini or cucumber but I suspect it’s more exotic than that

Inside exploration has yet to occur. I am guessing a squash of some kind. If no one figures it out today, it might be a taco bowl tomorrow

Has anyone tried or even just done some research on dry needling and/or cortisone injections for old injuries? Specifically I’ve had low-level chronic pain on and off at varying intensities in my IT band of my right leg since I was 21 (I’m 42).

A physical therapist I’m seeing for a different issue mentioned those as possibilities.

A friends husband is a PT and got a specialty cert in dry needling. He has people come from all over for it and I guess sees some really awesome results. Seems promising.

Sounds painful. Any idea how much it may hurt?

Did it help?

I did dry needling and there was no pain. It helped a lot. Mine was not a particularly old injury - maybe 6 months. I don’t know if that makes a difference. Really what it was doing in my case was loosening small muscle knots that didn’t respond to anything else.

I have some very tight hip muscles that are hard to stretch - it was secondary to the problem for which I saw a PT, but she mentioned dry needling, which made me flinch. Not sure if it is akin to acupuncture (which I have never done either)

Maybe? I did it during pre-op and post-op PT. So during pre-op we were just getting the surrounding muscles as strong as possible to prepare for surgery, but the main pain source wouldn’t be better until the surgery happened. Post-op it was getting better every day so was the pain less because of the dry needling out because of all the other things going on down there? It didn’t hurt and I figured it didn’t wouldn’t hurt to do it since the PT wanted to and it didn’t cost any extra

I never have done acupuncture either, but it seemed very similar to descriptions I’ve read.
