Today I went and had acupuncture for some injuries that just won't go away. I'm fairly open to different types of treatments but never had considered acupuncture before because of the whole needle thing.

Injuries/Issues I have

I currently have 2 problems I am dealing with which I haven't had much success in treating so far.

The first is to do with my arms, in particular my fingers being numb 24 hours a day (possible Carpal Tunnel Syndrome). This ailment is due to my career change of late as I have decided to get into domestic construction and started building fences. Building fences is not that difficult a job the problem is that there is a lot of vibration from the tools you use. It got to the point where I had to get my colleagues to do all the jack hammering as well as the nailing with a nail gun. I could do most of the other tasks but even just digging using post hole diggers left me in pain and often with sleepless nights.

The second issue is to do with my legs or my shins to be exact. The muscle to the outer side of my shin is extremely tight and when I run for 5 to 10 minutes these muscles get so full of blood and swell to the point that I almost can't walk anymore. I was told by a physiotherapist that I have Compartment Syndrome and that the only real fix for it is surgery or stop running. So I stopped running and thought I would just live with it for the rest of my life because the surgery for this problem is not fun at all.
