Hello. I am new to this forum and to acupuncture. I live in a semi-

rural area without a lot of health options. I have been having some

strange sort of nerve pain in my second toe on my left foot for

several weeks. Doctors couldn't help me, so I sought out the only

acupuncture therapist in my town. The pain is an electric sort of

pain and it goes on for about 5 seconds and off for about 60 seconds.

Sometimes it stops for hours. It is much worse at night.

 

I have had 3 treatments from the acupuncture therapist. The first one

wasn't so bad except for one needle near my toe REALLY hurt for a

minute or so. Same with the second treatment. I have noticed maybe a

very small improvement in the frequency and intensity of the toe

pain. But now my left calf is quite sore. I went for a third

treatment and could not tolerate it well at all. After I had 3

needles placed in my shin area, I could not move or be touched

without a terrible pain starting at the top of my foot and going all

the way up my leg. I was able to lie as still as possible for about

15 minutes, but I could not tolerate any more needles. It hurt to

walk for awhile after the treatment.

 

Is this sort of thing typical? How often should I go for treatments

to be effective? I am really not wanting to go back right now. I

wonder if this therapist is making me better or making me worse. Any

advice would be greatly appreciated!
