Radial Nerve Sensitivity due to Acupuncture Trauma?
Hello,
I had my first acupuncture treatment today and it went very badly and now I'm displaying some strange/worrisome symptoms. I went to the clinic looking to treat guyon's tunnel syndrome (entrapment of the ulnar nerve at the wrist/hand). When the 'doctor' inserted one of the needles into my shoulder I immediately felt a lightning nerve flash down my right arm. I assumed he was putting it near the Ulnar nerve to help with my syndrome but it's been about 12 hours since my appt. and I can literally feel my Radial nerve (not my Ulnar Nerve) under my skin. I am unable apply the smallest amount of pressure against my forearm, index and ring finger without an electrical/tender sensation that traces the location of this nerve. Doing house work this evening I lightly bumped by thumb and it sent a shock up my arm along the Radial nerve.
During my appt. my back muscle shifted and the needle that was near or over my shoulder nerve moved and caused a strong electrical nerve sensation down my arm then shortly after my entire arm went partially numb. Could the clinic have injured my radial nerve? since it was my first appt. ever, he used the smalled gage of needles.
Has anyone had this happen to them before?
Thanks in advance!

Considering how long it's been since you asked and you haven't got an answer, I'll toss in my 2 cents. I'm hoping the sensitivity is gone, but I'd recommend just calling the clinic to tell them what happened... many places would offer for you to come in so they could correct it for free if they made an error.
Other than that, the body is able to heal itself very well so any damage that may have been done should be repaired soon by your body if nothing else. Good luck and I hope I helped!
