Hi,
I used acupuncture for three months and had good results. I am on a break at the moment, but while using acupuncture I also continued other therapies for my neuro pain. It is very helpful for nausea and general relaxation.
Make sure you have a qualified acupuncturist. Look for a ODM (oriental doctor of medicine) with a lot of experience.
Hope it works for you- give it a try with an open mind!

In answer to your question though, no the needles didn't hurt going in.
