cwm1@cwm1 I too am trying acupuncture. I had my first session last Wed and I go for a 2nd session today. My first session was more uncomfortable than it should have been. She put needles in my head and it did hurt. I didn't say anything until she came back into the room. My head, my eyes, my teeth, and my head were hurting. I told her and she said it was my sinus as the needles did something. I really don't know what she said, but anyhow I am going back today with an open mind. It is expensive and she does not take insurance. With my pain from neuropathy, fibromyalgia, lymphedema.I am willing to give it a try. While I am here, can anyone tell me about lymphedema and what they are doing for it. I have it in my left leg. The doctors are saying it is idiopathic just ass they say my neuropathy is. I don't have diabetes and have not had cancer. I find it concerning that I have two medical conditions that they say are idiopathic. The doctors really did little testing to look for a reason for both conditions. Have you are other group members have this issue.

Hi, @summertime4 - here is one discussion on lymphedema on Connect you might check out https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/lymphedema-in-legs. You may want to search for "lymphedema" on Connect (click on magnifying glass icon at the right top of any Connect page), as there are different discussions on it depending on what the source of it may be.

How are you feeling about continuing with acupuncture after you experienced the pain in your head from the needles? How did the second session go?
