Friend had it done last week to help his sinuses. Said it was grand apart from opening his eyes and getting freaked seeing the needles sticking out of his face  |

I've never gone for those specific issues so I couldn't say, but it's worth a try. |

If it makes you feel any better it was the first in years it was completely clear. No blockages at all. |

I couldn't, have had acupuncture a few times, was always torture, no way would I tolerate it on my face. (Never found much benefit from it either truth be told) I have sinus issues, mostly allergy related, only thing that works for me is saline rinses and a steroid nasal spray |

Have you got a diagnosis?
It's usually best to treat the origin of the symptom rather than the symptom only...if it's to do with TMD/TMJ (disorders of the joints, muscles and nerves of the jaw), then you might want to ask yourself why? Are you stressed, possibly grinding your teeth, suffered a trauma to the head etc...your dentist might be able to give advice here too...
I've never had acupuncture (needles  ) but would personally always look at holistic treatments but definitely seek a diagnosis first.
If nothing else, you'll have moved/cleared some energy by manipulating acupressure points. That in itself can be very healing - and opening floodgates may be just what's needed to get rid of stagnant energy...
Sorry, I know I sound bonkers to some but I know the effect alternative treatments have had on me (not only in the form of receiving but also giving)
What have you got to lose bar 60ish quid or so for a session to try it |

Actually there is a good point, I had a very tight knot in each of my hamstrings so I asked the acupuncturist to help, when these needles went in I nearly hopped off the bed, normal you'd hardly notice them but these felt like they had been dipped in poison before using them. The acupuncturist left me to listen to the ocean sounds playing and the needles to there thing returning about 20 minutes later and removed them as the session was finished. I honestly couldn't stand when I came off the table. Me body was shaking. When I got meself together and left I felt euphoric but as it faded away the horrors came. I was having flash backs of past experiences and things which I thought no longer angered me. And I wasn't right for about a week so a disclaimer to all be careful what energies are released. |

They might stick them in somewhere else to treat that
I had needles in my ears for back pain. Was fucking horribly painful and they bled |

I have had acupuncture over the years...the skill of the practitioner is important and their ability to listen and consider your symptoms. The effects can be powerful as others have said. This might sound weird but if you choose to have it - surrender to it and imagine the energy (chi) moving. It is alternative, but worth considering. What you describe might be symptoms of something deeper (sometimes psychological stress can be held in the body). That’s not to be feared - it’s all connected and can resolve once you find the source. Hopefully you will find relief. |
