Acupuncture for lower leg neuropathy

[RalphVa]

Acupuncture has killed Godfrey now after the Monday treatment the 4th week. He's the guy who'd been hanging onto my shins with his hands. I had to drag him along as I walked. Some days, he was pretty heavy. He's dead now. RIP.

Think the burning from my toes to the upper part of my feet has stopped. Still getting some slight burning at top of instep.

Acupuncture stopped my tinnitus for 2 1/2 weeks. Asked him to treat it the 2nd time I was there. Lasted until the Sunday night 2 weeks later. Man, if I can keep the tinnitus away, it'll be worth it to go back every other week. Next visit (Friday), he'll stop it again. It rings in my ears at 8 dB. My ear technician measured it by matching; she even matched the frequency. She was looking to mask it with noise from the hearing aids. No, cannot do it with 85 dB.

I've read online that some things need up to 5 weeks to stop. Acupuncture is quicker. My 4 symptoms connected with neuropathy are more involved. Think I've more sensation on the bottoms of my feet now.

Good to hear it’s working for you. Maybe I’ll give it another try someday. On bad days like today it’s more of a stinging sensation. Getting hot or alcohol seem to be my triggers. I had to give up beer several years ago.

A very good friend of mine I coached football with for years had neuropathy. He was a military and commercial pilot and lost his ability to fly.

Still glad I can drive. Just enough feel left. Use 3 pedals, too.
