Just did a quick search but nothing came up, maybe I didn't do it right.
What are the thoughts here of Acupuncture to treat PN. I did try 6 or seven treatments when I first got the symptoms but didn't notice any change. I see references on Google to it being used. |

When i first got neuropathy i asked a gp of whom i see for another problem [who is very experienced in accupunture with about 60 years of experience] about if acupunture could help my neuropathy, he's answer was " no way, sorry " , i told him i have phoned other accupuntrists previously who claim they may be able to help, but he said " they must need the money, i don't "., this guy is in his 80's and still practising medicine & accupunture.

I visited an acupuncturist sometime ago. I personally find little releif but it each session was very expensive and i decided to stop going. I would say give it a try, acupuncture has a very interesting theory behind.

Acupuncture doesn't work
for PN of the hands, legs or feet.

OK then I'll toss that idea in the bin.
Thanks for all the replies. |

Oh well, I was thinking about that too.
What about hypnotherapy or Massage therapy? does anyone know about results from these kinds of treatments?

I have had 3 acupuncture treatments so far (w/ electrical stimulation) since a good friend of mine has been nagging me to go and she is paying for them. The Chinese doc says she has seen good results in nerve repair in a hospital in India she work in. Frankly, it hasn't done a thing to relieve any pain and actually is painful in itself that I have to have her turn off the stimulation. I think its a waste of time and money (though not mine). But it makes my dear friend happy. so there ya go.
