Good point. I guess it's concerning because it's invasive yet doesn't have much proof backing up its purported benefits

That was my initial thought. The specialist mentioned dry needling in the same breath as something "they used to do" instead, though, so I got a weird vibe about it. I guess the main idea is distracting the brain from the major source of pain, so 🤷
I have similar problems that I'm still trying to figure out how to manage. For me, it's picking and biting the skin beside my fingernails, plus biting/chewing the insides of my cheeks.
When I paint my fingernails, it makes me not want to mess up the polish, so that can work for a while... but it also makes me a little dysphoric. I was thinking about trying some kind of cuticle oil or balm to apply when I get fidgety so that I can't mess with the dry skin. Not sure what to do about my cheek biting though. :cowboy-cri:
