neuropathy

Posted , 3 users are following.

I have had neuropathy in my feet and toes for about a year and half. I read that acupuuncture can help. I have been 5 times to one doctor with no relief. Then changed doctors and have been twice, still no relief. Has anyone been for acupuncture for neuropathy and had success? About how long did it take to see results?

Thank you

    Hi Michele, I am sorry for your pain. I also suffer from small fiber neuropathy in my feet, and toes. It has spread to my hands and finger. I have seen many pain management docs, The last one I saw, 2 weeks ago, told me acupuncture is not effective for nerve pain. Needless to say I was disappointed. I see you tried it several times and it didnt help you. Now I feel like I wont even bother to try it. My Insurance doesnt cover it so it would be out of pocket. How long have you had this "beast" and what do you take for your pain. Ty,
