Tried a 25g 5/8th needle in the shoulder today and it went really smooth. Only thing, the area is a bit more swollen than when I use a 1 inch needle. The 1" needle leaves my shoulder in pain about 4 hours after pinning and I also get a very noticeable pain when I stretch almost immediately after.
Can I stay with 5/8th for shoulder area or is it better to use 1"? The one incher puts the oils deeper but the annoying pain after. Okay which is better ?
