Has anyone with HSD or EDS gotten dry needling? Could you tell me about your experience? I’m really scared of both the pain and the risk of my muscles relaxing /too/ much.

i wouldn’t risk anyone putting needles into me unnecessarily

I have, and it helped for a bit, but it would only give me a couple hours of relief before the pain was back

a pt actually told me not to bc the muscles in my neck are so screwed up that if we were to do dry needling/acupuncture it might just push the tension higher and make my migraines worse 😃

To #3 dry needling does actually have scientific basis :) Chiropracty does not

I’m assuming you don’t have EDS or HSD

Would you say someone with an illness who needs IV treatment is getting needles put into them “unnecessarily”

Thank you! How bad did it hurt to get done?

Yeah you clearly don’t have EDS or HSD so kindly screw off ☺️ And no it is exactly the same babes. Do you think people with POTS who get saline treatments are sticking needles into themselves “unnecessarily”?

Adding onto this about risk of injection. To me it doesn’t sound any more legit than chiropractics, and I do have EDS, along with other chronic pain conditions

Not really, honestly. It just felt like small pinches. A few pinches hurt a tiny bit more than others, but nothing really bad Granted, I have a pretty high pain tolerance, so I would take my words with some salt
