Believe me, I cannot wait for my next acupuncture appointment later on this week.

By the time I have it it will have been three weeks since my last one and it would appear that my hip pain thinks that’s a bit too long to wait.

Things were fine for the first two weeks or so. Sure, it bothered me a little bit, but once I’d got it to crack things settled down again.

However, week three has been a whole other story. I’m back to it causing me problems every night and making it hard to get comfortable. My back is also giving me jip, and the backache is also causing muscular pains in my chest and stomach too.

All of those things at once mean I’ve been getting very little sleep. Even only sorting out the hip pain will make a huge difference.

I can’t wait.
