And im getting it on my calfs. I have 10 total sessions and have the 7th one tomorrow. but last session the needles hurt like hellll going in. They never do. Physical therepy has not helped my calf pain and this acupuncture thing isnt working either. I have all these needle marks and bruises and the sessions are getting more painful each day. The calf tightness/ pain i have isnt going away. Should i leave the acupuncturist? i mean its 55 bucks a session and its not helping at all!!! ill explain everything lol...I sprained my ankle last year..ran on it while it was still swelled and bruised. Few weeks later calf pain/ tightness came. I get tight when i run now and pain days later. Its weird. Popiteal entrapments been ruled out along with nerve damage and an MRI showed nothing. No clue what it could be! Ive been in PT for a year(2 sessions) and nothing. Any other thoughts? i drink lots of water...(if that helps?idk) and ive been to a massage therepist...nothing. O and i have no clue where to go from here the acupunturist doesnt understand me for some reason hm.

I would say there's some toxicity going on. Often when we get massages, acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments we have toxic stuff going on inside that is broken up when manipulated. I wonder if you're JUST now getting to the heart of the problem & you're body is reacting that way as a defense. Do you drink a lot of water before/ after? Have you tried seeing a massage therapist first before the acupuncture to get things "loosened " up? Talk w/ your acupuncturist about your concerns, call others for 2nd opinions. It's best to be well informed.
