Hi,

Acupuncture works in many diseases and specially chronic diseases,although there is no gurranted treatment and there are no medical basis to pain management,but some people benefit a lot after acupuncture and some people don't get that benefit.
I have seen people benefit out of it,so you can try.
So there is nothing deafinative,that i can tell you.
Acupuncture specialist claim that disease works in rheumatisam.
There must be many people in your city who must be practising this practise,you have not even mentioned anything about your city
Who diagnosed you with rheumatoid arthritis in knee,because osteoarthritis is more common in knee.
