Hello Anonymous,
Nerve pain and burning at the site where the acupuncture needles were inserted are not normally experienced following acupuncture.
You may feel slight pressure when a needle goes in. Most people find that acupuncture does not hurt. The area may tingle, feel numb, itch or be a little sore.
I urge you to call your medical physician right away and report your symptoms.
