First Needling ok but sore arm
Posted: Tue May 02, 2017 5:26 pm
Hi all
I wanted to share that l had my first needle in the fistula on Friday and I was nervous but it was FINE! Neckline was also used.
Anyone else new to it, don't worry, just make sure you numb it an hour before with EMLA cream. It's great.
Second one was yesterday and that was fine too.
However today the arm is a bit sore and a little bruised, and I don't bruise at all. So I'm just wondering if the sore/heavy feeling is normal and if they may use the neckline instead for a while on Friday.
