Needles

in Head and Neck Cancer #1
For some reason the left side of my face feels like thousands of needles poking me, from the Jaw bone up to my eye. It’s not hurting just a funny feeling anyone else have that before

Thanks

    Could it be from the acupuncture?
    Do you think it's a delayed reaction to the acupuncture that you had? Something that set off the nerve endings? I've heard that acupuncture can make you feel worse before it helps you.

    Not sure
    I am not sure, I did not take my pain meds when I should have taking them so it’s been a while of not feeling too much on the side of the face. Once I took the pain meds again with in about an hour or so it all disappeared. When I did do the acupuncture the pain was so bad that the pain meds did not seam to work very well, so it might be something left over from acupuncture. Just another episode in life I guess.

    Thanks
