nerve damage from acupuncture?

I recently had acupuncture treatment for tight hamstrings/knee pain while training for a marathon.   After one particular session where a needles were put into my leg down to my foot, I expereineced increasing pain from my glut down to my foot.  I have went to physical therapy for the last 2-3 weeks, but no improvement and had to pull out of the marathon after completing all my long runs (totally bummed).  Not sure if the acupuncture triggered this or not, but would appreciate any help.  Thanks.

Wrong methods of medical treatment cause more damage than healing.
Visit an Othopaedician and go for medical scans and assess your damage and then go for the treament!
Take care
