Okay, let's expand on that a little. I recently started having acupuncture for back pain, and was worried about how painful it was going to be, but couldn't really find a definitive answer. That's because there isn't really a definitive answer, it very much depends on the individual's condition and sensitivity. I found that it's not generally painful when the needles are being inserted, they are very thin and you just don't really feel them. However if they are inserted into a muscle which is really tense, well...yeah you're going to know about it. I've found that the after effects are more painful than during the procedure, I feel "bruised" for couple of days afterwards and the affected area feels really aggravated. So now you know.
