acupuncture for Raynauds

[Ciaran34]

Has anyone had success with acupuncture for chronic Raynauds in your fingers?. The pins and needles sensation will not go away in the tip of one finger. Thanks

No, I haven't but I would think that if anything it would make raynaurds worse. Anything touching my fingers sets them off, can't imagine needles being stuck in them

I agree with Jack37, I have to do a finger prick test for INR warfarin levels often and that can set off my Raynauds, not quite the same I know but still needles. Also an acupuncturist friend of mine told me that anyone with a heart arrhythmia should also avoid acupuncture, just detailed that for general guidance.
