Porcupine or Pin Cushion?

That's what I felt like today.
I decided to try some acupuncture for my persistent sciatica. I'm not one for alternative medicine and can't say I'm very optimistic but I figure it can't do any harm and anything is worth a try. My physio said it may help.
Quite by coincidence the person I chose from the Internet turns out to be in Graham's cricket team and I was impressed by him. He is also a physio and talked a lot of sense.
As I was lying prone with about a dozen needles stuck in my bum it occurred to me it would make a good blip but this is as close as I'm going to go with that.
