Next one is much more serious, my husband has idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and wondered if acupunchture might help that some, we know it won't take it away of course.?

Hi, it appears that you have pain in the hip, and as your had bursitis you might be having it.
You can try the ocupuncture , but you should also try the medicines, by your doctor.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe ofloxacin, anti inflamatories, and neurotropic injections.
For the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis of your husband you can try the acupuncture as it is a local treatment he can try it and if result is there that will be fine. Thank you.
