Acupuncture pain usually goes away in a few days

Some patients with sensitive senses may experience soreness at the acupuncture site, which usually disappears in 1-2 days, no later than 3 days. The pain after acupuncture may be caused by the patient mistaking the soreness, numbness, heaviness and swelling of acupuncture for pain, which is a normal phenomenon of acupuncture, and if the doctor is a little heavy in the process of lifting and twisting, it may lead to pain. In addition, if the patient maintains a poor body position for a long time, it can also cause muscle strain pain. Generally, if the patient rests sufficiently, the pain can disappear gradually within 1-2 days, so there is no need to worry too much. At the same time, local massage or hot towels can also be used to help the body repair and relieve pain symptoms. If the pain still exists after 3 days of acupuncture, or if the pain is aggravated, the patient should immediately go to the acupuncture department of the hospital for examination to exclude other diseases.
