Does Acupuncture Have Any Side Effects?
I've been getting acupuncture for abdominal pain. The acupuncturist will put a needle on the inside of my ankle. It almost shocks me when he puts it in and it makes my whole leg jerk. This is supposedly for my rectum, as I have inflammation in my rectum and colon. I have been for 4 or 5 treatments. Just today I've noticed when I get out of my car seat or move in a particular way that I feel this tingling weird sensation. It has me very concerned. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Hi Welcome to HCM
I went through your query and found you are going through a painful therapy . I really feel concerned .
You asked ' if it has side effects ' No , no side effects .as far as I know . But only problem is pinch of needles you have to tolerate .
I have worked with Magnets & magnetised water and acupressure very effectively . At least they are painless therapies giving 90% positive result . Rest depends on receptivity of the subject .
Hope it helps you in your query
All the best take care
