After acupuncture with silver needles, I feel weak in the upper thigh.

Feeling weakness in the upper thigh after acupuncture may be related to factors such as needle fainting, excessive needling frequency, or individual physical constitution. It is recommended to visit a hospital for examination and receive targeted treatment.

1. Needle Fainting

During acupuncture, excessive mental tension, extreme hunger, improper body position, or other factors may lead to needle fainting, accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, and nausea. It is recommended to rest in bed. If necessary, a qualified physician may massage acupoints such as Renzhong (GV26) and Hegu (LI4) to alleviate symptoms.

2. Excessive Needling Frequency

Frequent needling in the upper thigh area may stimulate leg nerve tissues, causing discomfort. It is recommended to undergo acupuncture treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician, get adequate rest, and symptoms will gradually improve.

3. Individual Physical Constitution

Individuals with weak constitution or poor immunity may be more susceptible. It is advised to lie down and rest, and consume appropriate amounts of high-carbohydrate foods such as cakes or candies, which may help improve symptoms.

In addition, conditions such as potassium deficiency may also contribute. If symptoms are particularly severe, a comprehensive medical evaluation at a hospital is necessary to identify the exact cause and initiate prompt treatment.
