Question: Acupuncture for tennis elbow..Side effects .?
I received acupuncture to my right forearm for treatment for tennis elbow..While having treatment [one needle in top of forearm] I started to feel dizzy and my sight went a little bit blurry ..When I blinked I could see spots of light .. My hearing started to sound like I was in a drum..
The physio stopped I had a drink of water and after about ten min's felt fine..

10 years ago I had 3 sessions with an oriental lady acupuncturist for tennis elbow.. No reaction whatsoever and I have been pain free all this time.. A sports medicine doctor had given me a prescription for NSAID's.. This was going to be very long term..I said I don't take any medicines..He said fill the prescription or never go back to him.. It was great advice......I threw the prescription in the trash and went for acupuncture..........and I will never go back to him......Health Question & Answer
Sounds like you've had an oncoming migraine as a reaction to the needles and possible pain from your elbow, anxiety dehydrates your system, so next time before you get treatment drink plenty of water with a bit of sea salt..Health Question & Answer
