Health report

About 2 months ago, I hurt my back moving the heaviest @#$^$#%! refrigerator God ever created up a short flight of steep, narrow concrete steps with an inadequate hand truck and not enough muscle on the other end. Well, I guess there wasn't enough muscle on my end, either. Anyway, the sciatica pain arrived the next day and gradually got worse over the next 5 or 6 weeks. At it's worst, it wasn't anywhere near as bad as the sciatica I had 25 years ago, when I came within an ace of having surgery, but it sure was uncomfortable. My doctor didn't have much to suggest to me: "Give it time, take Advil, maybe some physical therapy." My wonderful wife was more helpful: "Call Clara." As in Clara Yi, acupuncturist extraordinaire. Yeah, acupuncture. Maybe it's all mind games or placebo effects or voodoo. I don't know and I don't care. All I know is that my leg and my backside don't hurt any more. Yeay, Clara!

Anybody out there dealing with physical issues that don't respond to traditional medical remedies? Anybody want me to ask Clara to recommend an acupuncturist in your area?
