If your Attorney tells you, you can go to a accupuncture to see if it will help relieve your pain and you pay out of your own pocket, can you get in trouble for that?

you are allowed to purchase your own treatment.
You have to disclose it to any other doctors so that treatment programs don't interfer with each other.

Thank you so much for the informatoin, I just wanted to make sure,
Thank you again 1171.
Can I challenge a QME REPORT if I feel it is not correct, and a crucial report was not given to him before I seen him also the MRI was not mentioned in his report at all, should I ask my attrney what doc. were provided to him since I had called my attrney before going and he said not to take anything with me that there attrney and my attrney where suppose to provide him with everything?
Thanks again a lot!

yes, QME reports can be challenged.

the usual course, when you are represented, is to have your medical issues determined by an Agreed Medical Examiner -but not always.
Your atty should explain how or if they plan to get this evidence into the court record.
not all information is so critical that it will lead to a change of the doctors opinion, so it's really a judgement call based on experience on the part of the atty.

If your being seen by a PMD, you should talk accupuncture over with them first.

Accupuncture isn't a cure all.
