I have had swelling in my right knee for about nine years and there was some pain while walking.My family doctor said that this was some form of arthritis and referred me to a specialist in rheumatology. The specialist confirmed the arthritis and put me on pain killers since there is no cure for arthritis. Every six months he would change my pain killers and this was worrying me about all the side effects. Eventually I stopped seeing the specialist and just lived with the pain. One of my co-workers asked me if I had ever tried acupuncture and I said no. He introduced me to Dr.Kuo and I started acupuncture treatments with him.I noticed that Dr.Kuo was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took his time treating me and after only about four sessions I started seeing results. The swelling in my knee went down and I could walk without pain.I am so happy that after nine years ,my knee looks and feels so much better. I am happy that this type of treatment has no side effects. I plan to see Dr.Kuo at least once a month to keep the swelling from coming back./p>
