Is it normal to hurt MORE after the first visit for acupuncture?

I’ve had lower back problems for several years (disc/nerve problems), tried chiropractic care, physical therapy, etc. Have been wanting to try Acupuncture for some time now, and finally did yesterday. But today, I’m hurting a hundred times worse. Is this normal?
This is chronic pain, not acute. I know it takes more than one visit to help with chronic pain. I also know that with acute pain, it relieves it pretty much immediately. So my question was referring to chronic conditions, as to if it’s normal to hurt a lot more the following day, practually unable to walk. (thanks melanie)
