Hi,
I've had numbness/tightness and burning on the outer side of both calves for about 2 years (more precisely, I first noticed it about 2 years ago), and had gone to a neurologist, who did the normal blood tests, and an EMG, and got "diagnosed" with idiopathic PN. I tried Lyrica and then Horizant (new version of gabapentin) for awhile, with no relief, and then earlier this year, I went to an acupuncturist, who is a CMD (Doctor of Chinese Medicine). I had almost 20 sessions total, over a period of about 2 months, and also was taking Chinese herbal medicine through most of that period, but got no relief from these symptoms. I stopped the treatment about 2 months ago, because I had some hip surgery, and haven't gone back after that. I'm not saying that it doesn't work, or won't work for others, but it didn't work for me.
