<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Ive been getting acupuncture for abdominal pain. The acupuncturist will put a needle on the inside of my ankle. It almost shocks me when he puts it in and it makes my whole leg jerk. This is supposedly for my rectum, as I have inflammation in my rectum and colon. I have been for 4 or 5 treatments. Just today Ive noticed when I get out of my car seat or move in a particular way that I feel this tingling weird sensation. It has me very concerned. Any thoughts? Thank you.  <response>: Hi Welcome to ChatDoctorI went through your query and found you are going through a painful therapy . I really feel concerned. You asked if it has side effects No, no side effects .as far as I know. But only problem is pinch of needles you have to tolerate . I have worked with Magnets magnetized water and acupressure very effectively. At least they are painless therapies giving 90 positive result. Rest depends on receptivity of the subject. Hope it helps you in your query All the best take Cardona hesitate to come back with next query in any.
