    Just had some dry needling done on my shoulder. Slightly different experience than I was expecting. I had heard hurts during, feels better after. I was thinking immediately after, like a massage. It actually hurts much more immediately after. The pain crescendos into a unique symphony of ALL your sore areas at once, at a level above the initial injury. I suspect it will feel a lot better in a few hours though.

    I hope it works for you. Didn't really do anything for me.

    Already feels way better. Just normal dull pain of general muscle soreness at this point.

    Some sort of acupuncture?

    Similar, but deeper. Basically jab a needle right into the muscle. The way I understood it is that you are 1) loosening up the tightness of miracles that are healing, and 2) aggravating the muscles to promote more healing. Hardly even notice it now.

    The needling may also be accompanied with electric stimulation.

    On another note, I got that Trooper running. Not the one I posted about before. After I figured out the engine needs rebuilt on that one, I went and bought another non-running Trooper and got that one running. I currently own six vehicles. My Amigo and the black minivan are on Craigslist now. Probably just dump that other Trooper as well.

    Sweet looking rig, and it has less miles than my 2011 Xterra, if I didn't have so much on my plate right now I'd consider it, would be a great little desert cruiser with the top off.

    Unfortunately, it doesn't look as good in person. The top can be taken off, but it's not like a Jeep where it's meant to be taken off easily. Also, you have at least twice as many kids as I do and I can tell you it'd be too small.

    Yeah you are probably right, I just had a flashback of my 86 4runner with removable top when I looked at the Amigo.
