I have been suffering from pain in my tailbone area for about 9 years now, but in April 2010, my pain started to shoot down my legs making it very difficult for me to walk.  When I didn’t get relief at my doctor’s office, I was referred to our orthopedic surgeon who treated me for arthritis in my left ankle and right knee.  I had to wear braces for a few months.

At this time, I began having problems at work due to my slow movement and difficulty walking.  My manager had threatened to send me home on several occasions based on numerous complains she was getting.

I was then referred to a neuro surgeon who performed a spinal procedure to maintain my balance and had put me on medication.  Although the medication provided temporary relief, my pain was increasing to my lower back.  I was then sent for an spindoral steroid injection which caused more pain and discomfort.  Between April and October, I had seen about eleven (11) doctors, so far, and had been off work for about three (3) months.  I realized that if I don’t get better and return to work, I can be fired.

After crying and praying for days, I remembered a sign at my doctor’s office for an acupuncturist.  I called and was referred to the healing hands of Dr. Li.  My first consultation and treatment was Oct. 23 ^rd , I have not been having pain in the tailbone area since and he is now working on my legs and lower back.

The luckiest day of my life was finding Dr. Li.  I was so sick. I had been to the ER six times. I couldn’t eat. I was loosing weight.  Honestly, I had made peace with my maker and thought the end was near. I went to my GI doctor who got me into a psychiatrist. The GI doctor said it was life and death.  I was in so much pain.  My dietitian told me about acupuncture.  It was on a late Saturday afternoon, I started surfing the net. I saw Dr. Li. I called his office and they had me come right in.  Dr. Li talked to me and I started crying. He told me he was going to get me well. It would take some time.  He had me get rid of a bunch of suppls I had been taking on my own…actually recommended to me by someone who didn’t know what they were talking about. All I can say here is be very careful about products…

Dr. Li started working on me three and four times a week.  It took time. But I started coming around. The doctors insisted I be on different medications. Well, I have gotten off many of them…Just taking small dose of an anti depressant.  Dr. Li explained so many things to me. He helped me establish how to eat again without getting sick. He helped me by calming me down due to anxiety.  He reassured me I wasn’t going to die from lack of eating. First off he helped me with the spasms in my digestive tract. I eat little meals and make sure to chew chew chew etc…He listened to me esp when I would just stress out. He didn’t treat me like a hypochondria.   When I started with Dr. Li, I might have been eating a few hundred calories a day. Now I am up to almost 1800 in two months. I have lot of things that need to be worked on. Dr. Li is very attentive and pays attention. I swear his hands are like pain magnets. Just tell him the vicinity of your pain and he will find the exact location.  I never knew what acupuncture was about. I was so lucky to find Dr. Li. 

I have never written a testimony for anyone before.  And what Dr. Li has done for me deserves to be posted everywhere.  I have never met such a kind person in all my life who cares so much about his patient.  I have taken up so much of his time asking question after question.  I suffer from post traumatic stress and Dr. Li has preformed acupuncture to help my anxiety and help me be able to deal with this trauma.  We are going to be moving and I wonder how I am going to get by without my Dr. Li.

I sent Dr. Li a list of names from the place we are moving to . He even took the time to go through it and let me know who I should go to.  If it hadn’t been Dr. Li. I don’t know if I would be here today expressing my gratitude to him.
