Peripheral Neuropathy - Shooting Foot Pains at Night

I have chemo-induced neuropathy. Initially, I experienced pain overnight like what you are describing. I tried accupuncture for about 6 months. The pain went away completely, however the numbness remains. My practitioner did say up front that he had experienced good success with relieving pain but wouldn't likely be able to resolve the numbness (although it did improve a bit). I also started wearing barefoot shoes - initially in the house and outside, now just in the house.

Thank you kathyv66! In the area of "misery loves company," was interesting that someone else has/had similar overnight pains.
Glad that acupuncture worked for you. I tried 4 sessions, but no help in my case.
On footwear, I now never go barefoot. I wear Hokas with orthotics while outside and often inside. One doctor recommended Nike slides with good arch support for inside, and I've had good luck with them.
