A member asked:
How long before pain and swelling from acupuncture go away. when will i feel better? (hands/upper back/shoulders done)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swelling?: I think you had other problems with your acupuncture too (earlier question). It sounds like a negative experience. I have never seen swelling due to acupuncture. Although it can occur when an ashi point in piquered or with korean scraping techniques. Pain can sometimes be a positive reaction (a change) and usually resolves within 2 to 3 days. Are you seeing an experienced acupuncturist?
