Are there any Acupuncturist you recommend or anyone that you think I should avoid?

Please message me.

I’m getting mixed feedback. I am asking this because I’m recovering from acute joint inflammation, hip bursitis that is making my joint and knee feel pinched pain and numbness. Symptoms was improving but I started taking creatine to see if it could snap me out of brain fog. By that Sunday and every day thereafter I started feeling consistent numbness in my knee again until I stopped taking it one week in. I’ve read that it can cause muscles to retain fluids and therefore add more weighted pressure to current injuries but when I ask my doc she said no affect on worsening symptoms???

During the time I was a student exploring acupuncture as a career, I had a master who slept with at least 3 of the female students….

I’ve notice for months that my acupuncturist lingers in my room and tells me personal stories I never asked them to tell me. I know so much about their life and how single they are too. I talked myself out of believing that they might be interested in me. But I’ve noticed how they blush and their eyes soften and smile at me when they talk to me and how they stare in the lobby and when I catch their gaze they quickly turn away. Recently out of the blue they randomly divulged that they reach out to their ex-patient 6 months after they stopped being patient to be friends. There was no connective context leading up to this comment. At the moment my brain was just like “what?”

Now I’ve had some time to process it, I think they might have caught feelings for me and circumventing directly saying anything. Shouldn’t they terminate the patient-practitioner relationship first? Or are they waiting to confirm if the feeling is mutual? Almost every session since then they keep asking me if there was anything I want to talk about and seem exasperated that I said no/I don’t know. I’ve just been processing that’s all.
