I know! My doc didn't seem to concerned about it. He doesn't think the acupuncture caused anything. He did admit however that he can easily see some of the spots (he put his fingers right on them before I had a chance to point them out ) They are small, red little bumps (you would mistake them for a pimple except they are in the exact same spots on either side of my spine (spots where she put the needle in) and have been there for months. He gave me a cream and that was it. Maybe I will ask for a blood test...what kind of test should it be?
