That sounds quite promising. I've heard a bit about acupuncture, and its on my countries national health service, so I'll give it a go.

Apparently some research has been done on this, which has shed some light on the subject, but its not yet been able to explain it all. Apparently its pretty difficult to perform a quality experiment to check hypothesis about acupuncture.

Thanks for the advice. No one else recommended it, and I had put acupuncture fairly low on my to try list. If you hadn't recommended it, I probably wouldn't have thought of it for a while.

No prob. I recommend looking in to self-massage as well as acupuncture. The trigger point books discuss massage as the primary treatment method.
