I tried it this summer and it did not do a whole lot for me. It felt pretty nice and relaxing when the needles were in, but after a few hours the discomfort came back. I guess after the first session I was optimistic, but that seems to be the case when you try something new. You feel good for a certain amount of time, and then it comes creeping back. Same thing happened to me when I tried homeopatic medicine.

I have heard of people getting some relief from acupuncture, so it might be worth trying out for you. I know people with other types of muscle pain and soreness have had success with it.
