Discuss this: The acupuncturists I've met are all the sort of people who'd be very willing to discuss all of this with you and to refer you if necessary. That's the best 1st step unless you feel bad enough to consider an ER visit. Best wishes!

Unsure: I don't have an answer as to why insertion of needles in back led to abdominal pain. But, I agree with consulting with the treating provider. Any abdominal pain that is severe - warrants medical assessment.
