Hypnotherapy for chronic pain?

[ChronicPain1]

I'm nearing the point where I need to try something, anything to fix my problem. Even holistic medicine and stuff I would never have thought of trying before. After years of going to western medical doctors and having no options, I'm considering hypnotherapy.

Has anyone tried it before, and has it helped? I've done Catholic healing masses when I was younger and they helped, although I could've just convinced myself it did. I'm willing to give this a shot along with acupuncture and others, but at 50+ dollars a session I'm looking for some feedback.

I would try anything that wouldn't permanently hurt me. So I ask what do you have to lose? I have friends that have used hypnotherapy for other conditions with varying degrees of success.

Please let us know if this reduces your pain. We are always open to new things that may help us. I'll look forward to your updates.
Peace,
Tuck

I'm considering acupuncture as well. I'm wondering if my nerve pain really stems from my neck now, even though the MRI showed a bulging disc at C6-C7, the pain started in my shoulder. While some doctors focused on the shoulder and did X-Rays, it was never truly in depth.
