Dry needling has long been a Godsend for me. It reverses a lot of FM muscle spasm, neck & shoulder pain and leg pain. Unfortunately, the last 3 times my physical therapist used her magic needles, the pain in my skin (not my muscles) was so intense, she had to stop!
Her theory is that people with chronic pain issues are already a step or three up on the staircase of pain. Normal people start at ground level, but not us, so we get to "INTENSE" a lot faster than they do.
If this is true, and because dry needling has always been completely tolerable in the past, it is probably due to some current stressors for me. Fortunately, a big stressor for me will be gone in 2 weeks. I can only hope that this skin-level pain stops as a result. Who knows?
Anyone here experience something like this before?
