heel burning after acupuncture

[sirwilliam06]

I had acupuncture for tinnitus. I had a needle inserted on the side of my right foot (my left ankle bone) and that has started a strange occurrence. I felt a sharp pain under my heel. Its like burning..I almost thought that he was putting a needle in my heel..but he didint. The needle was only in the ankle.. but since then, every time I stretch my legs or pull my foot back, I get this shock-like pain. When I bend my ankle, as in to go up or down the stairs, I will feel a tingling (nearly like paresthesia) and then it feels as if it's stretching and pulling. It is close feeling to an electrical shock. I am so happy to find this forum, as I was stressing about this. I have it for almost 2-3 weeks now..everyday..Help me pls :(

Okay, so I know nothing about tinnitus, but then this is the Ears Nose and Throat Community.  If there is a connection, I don't understand it.  So I offer the following as a possible path to other inputs:

Where I see tinnitus comes up in several different Communities.  

I also find:

Good luck,

Sounds like nerve damage.
